[yellowdog-announce] Fixstars Open Sources Eclipse CUDA Plugin

[Announce List for all Fixstars Solutions products (moderated)]

Tokyo, Japan - February 21, 2011. Fixstars is proud to announce that it 
has released it's Eclipse CUDA plugin under the GNU General Public 
License version 2 (GPLv2). This is the first integrated development 
environment for CUDA on Linux.

Until now, there has been no readily available Integrated Development 
Environment (IDE) for CUDA usable on a Linux OS. Using Fixstars' CUDA 
plugin for Eclipse, developers can write, build, and debug *1 CUDA C/C++ 
applications in a easy to use graphical interface on their favorite 
CUDA-supported Linux distribution.

Fixstars previously included the plugin as part of it's Yellow Dog Linux 
for CUDA, but with this release the plugin will be available for many 
popular Linux distributions including Ubuntu, Fedora, and Red Hat 
Enterprise Linux.

Owen Stampflee, Fixstars Linux Product Manager states, "We will continue 
to contribute to the plugin, but with the project being open sourced, we 
hope the plugin will grow to a much wider audience than if we continued 
to be the sole developer".

The plugin is available for both Eclipse 3.5 (Galileo) and Eclipse 3.6 
(Helios) and works with NVIDIA CUDA SDK version 3.0, 3.1, and 3.2.
