GPUs, from Simulation to Encryption (with Agnès Leroy)

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! patreon.com/DeveloperVoices A Fully Homomorphic Encryption Scheme (pdf): crypto.stanford.edu/craig/craig-thesis.pdf CUDA platform: developer.nvidia.com/cuda-zone Rust-CUDA: github.com/Rust-GPU/Rust-CUDA And in case anyone was wondering, A List of Hydroelectric Power Stations in France: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Hydroelectric_power… – Kris on Mastodon: mastodon.social/@krisajenkins Kris on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/krisjenkins/ Kris on Twitter: twitter.com/krisajenkins – 0:00 Intro 3:08 Mathematica Models for Dentistry 6:42 From Mathematica to GPUs 11:16 How Do You Model Fluid Dynamics on a GPU? 18:25 Why Do Power Companies Need Fluid Dynamics Simulations? 21:35 Visualising Fluid Dynamics 24:43 What Language(s) Do You Use? 38:05 What Is “Fully Homomorphic Encryption”? 51:08 What’s New And Exciting In GPU Hardware? 59:29 Is C++ The Right Language For This? 1:02:39 Outro
