Systems with GPUs have impacted scientific computing since CUDA was first released in June 2007. The first CUDA tutorial was held at SC07 the same year (*). After just three years, Nvidia GPUs were featured as accelerators in several of the Top- 10 of the top500.org list. Nvidia was, at that time, still viewed primarily as a company focused on the gaming market. Today Nvidia is marketing itself as an AI technology company that continues to build products of interest to computational scientists.
