Visualize molecules: A molecular simulation called NAMD (nanoscale molecular dynamics) gets a large performance boost with GPUs.Using the computational power of GPUs, a team at NASA obtained a large performance gain, reducing analysis time from ten minutes to three seconds. Computer models help identify new ways to alleviate congestion and keep airplane traffic moving efficiently. Analyze air traffic flow: The National Airspace System manages the nationwide coordination of air traffic flow.Harvard Engineering, Harvard Medical School and Brigham & Women’s Hospital have teamed up to use GPUs to simulate blood flow and identify hidden arterial plaque without invasive imaging techniques or exploratory surgery. Identify hidden plaque in arteries: Heart attacks are the leading cause of death worldwide.With millions of CUDA-enabled GPUs sold to date, software developers, scientists and researchers are finding broad-ranging uses for GPU computing with CUDA.


It enables dramatic increases in computing performance by harnessing the power of the graphics processing unit (GPU). NVIDIA CUDA is a parallel computing platform and programming model invented by NVIDIA.
