Required Hardware
You will be able to develop your code on the SEAS GPU cluster or at the 53 Church St. computing labs, so no specific hardware is required. If you want to run your CUDA code on your own machine you will need a recent NVIDIA graphics card.

Newsreader
You will need to obtain a newsreader (also called a feedreader, or RSS aggregator) and subscribe to the upcoming course News blog and/or twitter feed. This will enable you to get instant updates instead of visiting this site each time a new assignment is due. For RSS, we recommend two free services available online: Google Reader or Bloglines. There are also stand-alone applications you can install on your computer, and a few Firefox add-ons.
