As an expert in the area of high energy physics, she is exploring fundamental questions about the nature of the universe, looking for the elementary particles that constitute matter and its interactions. GPUs and CUDA are accelerating her research. "A great algorithm design isn't very useful if it can't be implemented in an efficient way on modern parallel processors," she says. Her team is using NVIDIA Tesla C2075 and K20 GPUs. San Diego Supercomputer Center: Yifeng Cui
