	Happy New Year Crunchers! Per the plans we announced last year year, the CUDA 4.2 application is now terminated leaving the CUDA 6.0 and CUDA 6.5 applications in production. Henceforth, the CUDA 6.0 application will become the "compatibility" application, providing support to older systems. It will not receive any feature updates. All new feature releases - new GPU support, performance improvements, etc - will be introduced in the CUDA 6.5 application. Baring any unhappy surprises, CUDA 6.5 will be our build platform throughout 2015 and into 2016. As you can see from our statistics graph http://www.gpugrid.net/graphs/trend-appver.png , showing the fraction of our results produced by each application version, currently some 20% of our results are produced by the CUDA 6.0 application. We'd very much like to reduce that to a minimum, so that as many people as possible are using the better application. To ensure you are getting the CUDA 6.5 application, please ensure that your NVIDIA driver is on branch 343 or higher. Matt

	Will CC1.3 support be dropped? Yes, very soon. This will be effected with a change to the scheduler. Matt

	...and CUDA 7 Release Candidate becomes available to download! http://www.gpugrid.net/forum_thread.php?id=3977#39469 as pointed out by [CSF] Thomas Dupont - thanks. I knew it was on the near horizon, but for this came out on the same day Matt predicts the future is :)) "cuFFT 7.0 improves FFT performance by up to 3.5x on Tesla K20c for sizes that are composite powers of 2, 3, 5, and 7. Figure 2 shows speedups of cuFFT 7.0 vs. cuFFT 6.5 for 3D FFTs." - any use? ____________ FAQ's HOW TO: - Opt out of Beta Tests - Ask for Help

	Already been working with CUDA 7. The CUFFT enhancements aren't relevant for GPUGRID. We'll only move now if new hardware makes it necessary (which the reason why we had to bump to 6.5 soon after moving to 6.0). Matt

	A good decision then. IMO its highly likely that any more GM204's or new GM206 & GM207 cards will remain at CC5.2. I don't expect any compute capability changes until GM210 turns up, and I can't see that happening any time soon. A 28nm GM210 might turn up, but I see little point in that. Even if it does it could be many months, there might not be too many available, prices could be exclusively high and if you have a high end GK110 why move to another 28nm card? That all suggests a late 20nm or 16nm model a long way from now (next year) which would probably see significant CC changes and might take a lot of work on your part (months) to accommodate. ____________ FAQ's HOW TO: - Opt out of Beta Tests - Ask for Help
