Here are my slides on the “GPULib with IDL 8.0″ talk I gave yesterday at VISualize 2010. They are very similar to the slides for the talk I gave a few months ago at the IDL User Group Meeting in Boulder. More to come on other talks…

About
I'm a software developer focusing on high-performance computing and visualization in scientific programming. I work mostly in IDL, but occasionally use C, CUDA, and Python.
I work for Tech-X Corporation, where I am the main developer for GPULib, a library of IDL bindings for GPU accelerated computation routines.
I am the creator and main developer for the open source projects IDLdoc, mgunit, and rIDL.

Michael,
Are the OpenDAP access routines part of your library? Or do I need to get them from the OpenDAP website?
I look forward to “Modern IDL”!
Thanks, Liam.

The OPeNDAP access routines can be obtained through the Subversion repository on opendap.org, but that is a C DLM which is fairly basic (I contributed a small amount to this, but mostly this was done by others).
I have a new, entirely IDL code-based access routines which uses operator overloading if you have IDL 8.0. These are not downloadable currently, but I can send a distribution to those who are interested in checking them out. These are still somewhat in beta condition, but I think they are very usable. Let me know if you interested in trying them out!
