AI has entered an industrial phase. What began as systems performing discrete AI model training and human-facing inference has evolved into always-on AI factories that continuously convert power, silicon, and data into intelligence at scale. These factories now underpin applications that generate business plans, analyze markets, conduct deep research, and reason across vast bodies of…

Sirius, an open-source GPU native SQL engine, achieved a new performance record on Clickbench—a widely used analytics benchmark. Developed by University of Wisconsin-Madison with support from NVIDIA engineers, Sirius brings GPU-accelerated analytics to DuckDB. DuckDB has seen rapid adoption among organizations such as DeepSeek, Microsoft, and Databricks due to its simplicity, speed…

Financial portfolio optimization is a difficult yet essential task that has been consistently challenged by a trade-off between computational speed and model complexity. Since the introduction of Markowitz Portfolio Theory 70 years ago, robust analysis beyond basic mean-variance—such as large-scale simulations, multistep optimizations, or richer risk measures—was too slow for dynamic decision…

CuTe, a core component of CUTLASS 3.x, provides a unified algebra for describing data layouts and thread mappings, and abstracts complex memory access patterns into composable mathematical operations. While CUTLASS 3.x and CuTe have empowered kernel developers to achieve peak performance on Tensor Cores through intuitive abstractions, the extensive use of C++ templates has resulted in high…
