X-Plane 9.40 RC-3
X-Plane is a simple yet powerful general-aviation flight sim. more>>
X-Plane 9.40 RC-3 is a simple yet powerful general-aviation flight sim. With hardware-accelerated texture-mapped graphics, dynamic speech synthesis, full-planet terrain-mapped scenery, helicopters, and the widest range of airplanes available in flight simulation, X-Plane will keep your eyes popping out for hours.
Major Features:
- Meet X-Plane.
- X-Plane is the world's most comprehensive and powerful flight simulator for personal computers. With the most realistic flight model available for home users, X-Plane is not just a game--it is an engineering tool that can be (and is) used to predict the flight characteristics of nearly any aircraft with incredible accuracy.
- The most realistic is also the most accessible: The same engine used to drive the FAA-certified simulator is available on your desktop PC, whether it's running Windows, Mac OS, or Linux.
- The simulator of choice for industry leaders: Take a closer look at X-Plane and learn what companies like NASA, Boeing, Cessna, and Van's Aircraft, and Carter Aviation already know.
- Inside X-Plane.
- Real-time flight physics: X-Plane doesn't just regurgitate how an airplane's designer thinks a plane will fly-it calculates for itself the lift, drag, and moment on every surface of the plane individually at every point in time. The result is a flight model more realistic than anything else out there.
- The key is blade element breakdown: X-Plane reads in the geometric shape of any aircraft and then figures out how that aircraft will fly. It does this by an engineering process called "blade element theory," which involves breaking the aircraft down into many small elements and then finding the forces acting on each little element many times per second.
- Extending X-Plane.
- Choose from thousands of add-ons: The X-Plane community is huge, and the X-Plane simulator is incredibly flexible. Together, they make a great team. There are thousands of free aircraft available for download on the web, and thousands of free plug-ins and custom scenery packages-all created by X-Plane users.
- With over 750,000 copies sold, you're sure to find X-Plane users interested in the same aircraft you are: From minutely detailed scenery to painstakingly created aircraft, X-Plane users have donated many, many hours to enhancing the community. Click here to get more details.
- Also check out the links page: The X-World page has links to user groups, email lists, tutorials, virtual airlines and more.
Enhancements:
- Plane-Maker: It is now possible to enter negative generator and battery current redlines and the like. This could be useful for some planes.
- Plane-Maker: You now enter the BETA pitch of prop. This is the prop pitch that you see when the prop is in beta mode, which turboprops often have, and this will happen when you hit the . key to go into reverse, but have not yet advanced the throttle to really hit the reverse. A number around -10 or so should work pretty well for most planes.
Requirements:
- Mac OS X version 10.4 or later
- A 2 GHz processor
- 1.0 GB RAM (physical memory)
- 64 MB VRAM (video memory on your video card)
- 10 GB of hard drive space

Unbearable Devices brings you the first of a series of audio tools to create a new breed of music: Multitemporal Music. Gone is the unique, boring BPM of old, we bring you the joy of using more than one BPM at the same time.
GUidMachine is the tool you need if you want to mix asynchronous streams of sound flowing in the same instance.
Main features:
- The Guidmachine is Step Sequencer combined with a sample player. The Step sequencer has 4 X 16 steps while the sample player can load 4 samples simultanuously. Nothing new so far, but what makes the GUIdMachine special are a few unique features. First of all you can easily shift any of the sequences up and down by any number of steps and you can decide the length of each raw. But even this is not news. Whats special about it is that you can randomize this modifications and so the pattern will never be constant if you want.
- The velocities can be randomized too so the accents will also change during time and make the loops more interesting.
- But the most unique feature is that the 4 sequences can play at 4 different BPMs!
- The Sample Player section is a fairly straight forward 4 voices sample player with a good envelope section and the possiblitly to change the pitch , the length, the start point all on the fly.
- It also features a 4 tap delay section, a master Vst insert and the possiblity to record audio files of what you are doing.

Strandz 0.1.1109
API for connecting users with their data more>> For most common pitch problems, Auto-Tune Evos Automatic Mode instantaneously detects the pitch of the input, identifies the closest pitch in a user-specified scale (including minor, major, chromatic and 26 historical and microtonal scales), and corrects the input pitch to match the scale pitch. A Retune Speed control lets you match the retune rate to virtually any performance style.
Automatic Mode Features:
* Real-time pitch shifting (Native versions only): Auto-Tune Evo s new Transpose control provides extremely high-quality real-time pitch shifting over a two-octave range (+/- one octave in semi-tone increments).
* Formant correction (Native versions only): While Auto-Tune s classic pitch adjustment technology still provides the optimum results for the very small intervals typical of conventional pitch correction, for larger intervals or outright pitch-shifting, engaging Auto-Tune Evo s Formant Correction function preserves vocal character over a much wider pitch-shift range.
* Throat modeling (Native versions only): Utilizing the latest incarnation of Antares unique throat modeling technology, the new Throat Length control actually allows you to modify vocal character by passing it through a variable-length physical model of the human vocal tract.

CUDA 2.2
A C language development environment for CUDA-enabled GPUs. more>> A C language development environment for CUDA-enabled GPUs.
The CUDA Toolkit is a C language development environment for CUDA-enabled GPUs.
In a matter of a few years, the programmable graphics processor unit has
developed into an absolute computing workhorse. With multiple cores driven by very high memory bandwidth, todays GPUs offer incredible resources for both graphics and non-graphics processing.
The main reason behind such an evolution is that the GPU is specialized for compute-intensive, highly parallel computation exactly what graphics rendering is about and therefore is designed such that more transistors are devoted to data processing rather than data caching and flow control.
The CUDA development environment includes:
- nvcc C compiler
- CUDA FFT and BLAS libraries for the GPU
- Profiler
- gdb debugger for the GPU (alpha available in March, 2008)
- CUDA runtime driver (now also available in the standard NVIDIA GPU driver)
- CUDA programming manual
The CUDA Developer SDK provides examples with source code to help you get started with CUDA. Examples include:
- Parallel bitonic sort
- Matrix multiplication
- Matrix transpose
- Performance profiling using timers
- Parallel prefix sum (scan) of large arrays
- Image convolution
- 1D DWT using Haar wavelet
- OpenGL and Direct3D graphics interoperation examples
- CUDA BLAS and FFT library usage examples
- CPU-GPU C- and C++-code integration
- Binomial Option Pricing
- Black-Scholes Option Pricing
- Monte-Carlo Option Pricing
- Parallel Mersenne Twister (random number generation)
- Parallel Histogram
- Image Denoising
- Sobel Edge Detection Filter
- MathWorks MATLAB Plug-in
Main features:
- Standard C programming language enabled on a GPU.
- Unified hardware and software solution for parallel computing on CUDA-enabled NVIDIA GPUs.
- CUDA compatible GPUs range from lower power notebook GPUs to high performance, multi-GPU systems.
- CUDA-enabled GPUs support the Parallel Data Cache and Thread Execution Manager.
- Standard numerical libraries for FFT (Fast Fourier Transform) and BLAS (Basic Linear Algebra Subroutines).
- Dedicated CUDA driver for computing.
- Optimized direct upload and download path from the CPU to CUDA-enabled GPU.
- CUDA driver interoperates with OpenGL and DirectX graphics drivers.
- Support for Linux 32/64-bit and Windows XP 32/64-bit operating systems.
- Direct driver and assembly level access through CUDA for research and language development.
Enhancements
- Visual Profiler for the GPU - The most common step in tuning application performance is profiling the application and then modifying the code. The CUDA Visual Profiler is a graphical tool that enables the profiling of C applications running on the GPU. This latest release of the CUDA Visual Profiler includes metrics for memory transactions, giving developers visibility into one of the most important areas they can tune to get better performance.
- Improved OpenGL Interop - Delivers improved performance for Medical Imaging and other OpenGL applications running on Quadro GPUs when computing with CUDA and rendering OpenGL graphics functions are performed on different GPUs.
- Texture from Pitch Linear Memory - Delivers up to 2x bandwidth savings for video processing applications.
- Zero-copy - Enables streaming media, video transcoding, image processing and signal processing applications to realize significant performance improvements by allowing CUDA functions to read and write directly from pinned system memory. This reduces the frequency and amount of data copied back and forth between GPU and CPU memory. Supported on MCP7x and GT200 and later GPUs.
- Pinned Shared Sysmem - Enables applications that use multiple GPUs to achieve better performance and use less total system memory by allowing multiple GPUs to access the same data in system memory. Typical multi-GPU systems include Tesla servers, Tesla Personal Supercomputers, workstations using QuadroPlex deskside units and consumer systems with multiple GPUs.
- Asynchronous memcopy on Vista - Allows applications to realize significant performance improvements by copying memory asynchronously. This feature was already available on other supported platforms but is now available on Vista.
- Hardware Debugger for the GPU - Developers can now use a hardware level debugger on CUDA-enabled GPUs that offers the simplicity of the popular open-source GDB debugger yet enables a developer to easily debug a program that is running 1000s of threads on the GPU. This CUDA GDB debugger for Linux has all the features required to debug directly on the GPU, including the ability to set breakpoints, watch variables, inspect state, etc.
- Exclusive Device Mode - This system configuration option allows an application to get exclusive use of a GPU, guaranteeing that 100% of the processing power and memory of the GPU will be dedicated to that application. Multiple applications can still be run concurrently on the system, but only one application can make use of each GPU at a time. This configuration is particularly useful on Tesla cluster systems where large applications may require dedicated use of one or more GPUs on each node of a Linux cluster.
Pinned Memory Support:
- These new memory management functions (cuMemHostAlloc() and cudaHostAlloc()) enable pinned memory to be made "portable" (available to all CUDA contexts), "mapped" (mapped into the CUDA address space), and/or "write combined" (not cached and faster for the GPU to access).
- cuMemHostAlloc
- cuMemHostGetDevicePointer
- cudaHostAlloc
- cudaHostGetDevicePointer
Function attribute query:
- This function allows applications to query various function properties.
- cuFuncGetAttribute
2D Texture reads from pitch linear memory:
- You can bind linear memory that you get from cuMemAlloc() or cudaMalloc() directly to a 2D texture. In previous releases, you were only able to bind cuArrayCreate() or cudaMallocArray() arrays to 2D textures.
- cuTexRefSetAddress2D
- cudaBindTexture2D
Flags for event creation:
- Applications can now create events that use blocking synchronization.
- cudaEventCreateWithFlags
New device management and context creation flags:
- The function cudaSetDeviceFlags() allows the application to specify attributes such as mapping host memory and support for blocking synchronization.
- cudaSetDeviceFlags
Improved runtime device management:
- The runtime now defaults to attempting context creation on other devices in the system before returning any failure messages. The new call cudaSetValidDevices() allows the application to specify a list of acceptable devices for use.
- cudaSetValidDevices
Driver/runtime version query functions:
- Applications can now directly query version information about the underlying driver/runtime.
- cuDriverGetVersion
- cudaDriverGetVersion
- cudaRuntimeGetVersion
New device attribute queries:
- CU_DEVICE_ATTRIBUTE_INTEGRATED
- CU_DEVICE_ATTRIBUTE_CAN_MAP_HOST_MEMORY
- CU_DEVICE_ATTRIBUTE_COMPUTE_MODE
