NVIDIA has released the first public OpenCL conformant GPU drivers as well as a powerful performance profiling tool and an OpenCL Best Practices Guide.
The OpenCL Visual Profiler uses the extensive performance instrumentation in NVIDIA’s OpenCL drivers and hardware performance signals designed into NVIDIA GPUs to provide developers with insight into performance bottlenecks and opportunities for optimization.
The OpenCL Best Practices Guide designed to help OpenCL developers programming for the CUDA architecture implement high performance parallel algorithms and understand best practices for GPU Computing.
The OpenCL drivers, Visual Profiler, and Best Practices Guide are all available at:

We are continuing our popular seminars on GPU computing with CUDA, including sessions on OpenCL and best practice guidance. Advance registration is required. More details can be found at http://developer.nvidia.com/object/gpu_computing_online.html
We're proud to announce the trailer video for NEXUS, NVIDIA's upcoming Visual Studio-integrated toolset for graphics and GPU Computing. NEXUS includes powerful debugging and platform-wide performance tools.
More information about NEXUS will be available at the GPU Technology Conference, Sept 30th - Oct 2nd, 2009.
