Recent CUDA applications

Taking a look at Nvidia's CUDA zone I found some recent additions - besides important ones that I already knew like the Smith-Waterman and the phylogenetic likelihood algoritihms. Here is a list of these new programs and libraries that take advantage of GPUs:
  1. Expectation Maximization algorithm for Gaussian Mixture Models
  2. Multilevel algorithm for MDS (multidimensional scaling)
  3. Multiclass classifier based on SVMs (support vector machines)
  4. GPU computing in the R statistical environment (BLAS lowlevel routines and dist(), hclust(), cor(), and granger.test() functions)
  5. Smith-Waterman algorithm for sequence database search
  6. Quicksort library
  7. Feature finding algorithm for mass spectrometry
  8. Smith-Waterman algorithm for sequence alignment
  9. MDR (multifactor dimensionality reduction) algorithm for detecting genetic epistatic interactions (white paper)

The last reference is just a two-page summary, and the 8th reference is behind a paywall - I couldn't access it myself - but the slides are available here.
