GPUs, from Simulation to Encryption (with Agnès Leroy)
Listen now
Description
This week we take a look at what you can do with a GPU when you get away from just using it to draw polygons. Agnès Leroy has spent most of her career programming, optimizing and converting programs to run on that oh-so-curious piece of specialised processing hardware, and we go through all the places that journey has taken her. From simulating the flow of fluids in hydroelectric powerstations, to figuring out how to make a new approach to encryption run fast enough to make it practical… – Become a Developer Voices supporter! https://patreon.com/DeveloperVoices A Fully Homomorphic Encryption Scheme (pdf): https://crypto.stanford.edu/craig/craig-thesis.pdf CUDA platform: https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-zone Rust-CUDA: https://github.com/Rust-GPU/Rust-CUDA And in case anyone was wondering, A List of Hydroelectric Power Stations in France: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Hydroelectric_power_stations_in_France – Kris on Mastodon: http://mastodon.social/@krisajenkins Kris on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/krisjenkins/ Kris on Twitter: https://twitter.com/krisajenkins

Pony is a language born out of what should be a simple need - actor-style programming with C performance. On the face of it, that shouldn't be too hard to do. Writing an actor framework isn't trivial, but it's well-trodden ground. The hard part is balancing performance and memory management. When...
