We are pleased to announce Jacket 1.4, with support for the latest NVIDIA graphics processing units based on the Fermi architecture (Tesla 20-series and GeForce GTX 4xx-series). NVIDIA's release of the Fermi architecture brings with it 448 computational cores, increased IEEE-754 floating-point arithmetic precision, error-correcting memory for reliable computation, and enhanced memory caching mechanisms.

Highlights for Jacket 1.4 are as follows:
<ul>
	<li> Added support for the NVIDIA Fermi architecture (GTX400 and Tesla C2000 series)
<ul>
	<li>Jacket DLA support for Fermi</li>
</ul>
</li>
	<li>Dramatically improved the performance of Jacket's JIT (Just-In-Time) compilation technology
<ul>
	<li>Operations involving random scalar constants do not incur a recompile</li>
	<li>Removed dependencies on MINGW and NVCC</li>
</ul>
</li>
	<li>Logical indexing now supported for SUBSREF and SUBSASGN, e.g. B = A(A &gt; x)</li>
	<li>MTIMES supports mixed types, no longer uses CUBLAS, and achieves better performance than CUBLAS</li>
	<li>SUM, MIN, MAX, ANY, ALL now supported over any number of columns, rows, or dimensions</li>
	<li>MIN, MAX indexed output now supported for complex single and complex double inputs</li>
	<li>SUM, MIN, MAX over columns is greatly accelerated; vectors accelerated too</li>
	<li>FIND performance improvements</li>
	<li>CONVN, BLKDIAG, DOT performance improvements</li>
	<li>CUMSUM now supported for matrices also</li>
	<li>SORT, CONVN now supported in double-precision</li>
	<li>HESS(A) and [P,H] = HESS(A) now supported (see Jacket DLA)</li>
	<li>LEGENDRE now supported</li>
	<li>Expanded GFOR support for:
<ul>
	<li>MLDIVIDE, INV, HESS, MTIMES</li>
	<li>FFT, FFT2, FFTN and inverses IFFT, IFFT2, IFFTN</li>
</ul>
</li>
	<li>PCG now supported, this is a system solver that uses the Preconditioned Conjugate Gradient Method for dense matrices</li>
	<li><a title="Image Processing Library" href="http://wiki.accelereyes.com/wiki/index.php/Image_Processing_Library">Image Processing Library</a> now  available. Direct access to the NVIDIA Performance Primitives (NPP)  enabling new image processing functionality such as <a title="NPPIERODE 8U C1R" href="http://wiki.accelereyes.com/wiki/index.php/NPPIERODE_8U_C1R">ERODE</a> and <a title="NPPIDILATE 8U C1R" href="http://wiki.accelereyes.com/wiki/index.php/NPPIDILATE_8U_C1R">DILATE</a>.</li>
</ul>
