+cublas function \texttt{cublasSetVector}.  This function several arguments. More
+precisely, the first argument represents the number of elements to transfer, the
+second arguments is the size of  each elements, the third element represents the
+source of the  array to transfer (in  the GPU), the fourth is  an offset between
+each element of  the source (usually this value  is set to 1), the  fifth is the
+destination (in the GPU)  and the last is an offset between  each element of the
+destination. Then we call the kernel \texttt{addition} which computes the sum of
+all elements of arrays $A$ and $B$. The \texttt{inverse} kernel is called twice,
+once to  inverse elements of array  $C$ and once  for $A$. Finally, we  call the
+function \texttt{cublasDdot} which  computes the dot product of  two vectors. To
+use this routine, we must specify  the handle initialized by Cuda, the number of
+elements to consider,  then each vector is followed by  the offset between every
+element.  After  the  GPU  computation,  it  is  possible  to  check  that  both
+computation produce the same result.

+\section{Third example: matrix-matrix multiplication}
+\label{ch2:3ex}
+
+
+
+Matrix-matrix multiplication is an operation  which is quite easy to parallelize
+with a GPU. If we consider that  a matrix is represented using a two dimensional
+array,  A[i][j] represents  the  the element  of  the $i^{th}$  row  and of  the
+$j^{th}$ column. In many case, it is easier to manipulate 1D array instead of 2D
+array.   With Cuda,  even if  it is  possible to  manipulate 2D  arrays,  in the
+following we  present an example  based on 1D  array. For sake of  simplicity we
+consider  we  have  a  squared  matrix  of size  \texttt{size}.  So  with  a  1D
+array, \texttt{A[i*size+j]} allows  us to access to the  element of the $i^{th}$
+row and of the $j^{th}$ column.
+
+On C2070M Tesla card, this code take 37.68ms to perform the multiplication. On a
+Intel Xeon E31245 at 3.30GHz, it takes 2465ms without any parallelization (using
+only one  core). Consequently the  speed up between  the CPU and GPU  version is
+about 65 which is very good regarding the difficulty of parallelizing this code.
