CUDA: Accessing pinned/pagelocked memory from different threads

Some time ago I asked the question here:
http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=201193

on how to access pinned or pagelocked memory from two threads in the same program.

The key is to allocate with the portable attribute.
Look at:
Nvidia Doxygen 4.0 cudaHostAlloc

for details.

Even more elegant is however, to register the memory only if you need it:
See details about  cudaHostRegister cudaHostRegister cudaHostUnregister at:
Nvidia Doxygen 4.0 cudaHostRegister

Tools: Office 2010 Print to File

It took me some time to actually find this well known Option. If you are in Excel or any other Office program you see this option well down  below the combo-box where you chose the Printer.

However, in Outlook 2010 it is on the initial Print Page.

GIT: Tag particular commit

Simply use git tag as usual but provide a valid commit hash:

 

git tag -a v1.0  cc622186a7322713f0ee4df8d58a1adcfe2ffef6   -m"tag a particular commit"
