DMX, a provider of music experiences, is launching its Sonic Tap
digital music service (http://www.sonictap.com) in beta form. Sonic
Tap offers thousands of professionally designed playlists,
handcrafted by DMX’ team of experts, to perfectly fit any moment,
claims DMX CEO John Cullen.

Drawn from a DRM-free library of more than five million songs,

genre, lifestyle, music designer, artist, album or song.

Nvidia has released version 2.2 of the CUDA toolkit
(http://www.nvidia.com/cuda) and software developer kit for GPU
computing. The upgrade’s enhancements include: a visual profiler for
the GPU; improved OpenGL interop; texture from pitch linear memory;
zero-copy; a pinned share system; a hardware debugger for the GPU;
and an exclusive device mode.

The latter — a system configuration option — allows an application
to get exclusive use of a GPU, guaranteeing that 100 percent of the
processing power and memory of the GPU will be dedicated to that
application.
