Parallel reduce and scan on the GPU Introduction GPUs are formidable parallel machines, capable of running thousands of threads simultaniously. They are excellent for embarassily parallel algorithms, but are quite different than the ones on the CPU due to the way GPUs work. You can’t just build and run an application.

Scientists Say They've Figured Out a Way to Turn Nuclear Waste Into a Powerful Fuel

Scientists say they've developed a way to salvage nuclear waste from fission reactors — and turn it into a potent fuel for fusion reactors instead. As Gizmodo reports, it's an exciting prospect that could give fusion — which has remained elusive despite decades of research, though many scientists believe it could mature into a viable grid-scale power source — a chance of one day becoming a viable source of clean and safe energy.
