    Cuda rocks!

      What kind of SAS do you mean? Anyway, just "using the GPU" is easy, CUDA somehow manages to make it harder then it is with OpenGL and a nice shader.. well maybe that's just me.

      Well Cuda makes it more elegant for doing GPGPU, which has a slightly different purpose than OpenGL (although you can twist opengl to do gpgpu but it is neither clean nor easy).

            OpenGL, but as Pierre Leclercq said, it's not really a clean way to do it

                      No but I am planning to use OpenCL. I am not really sure how much they differ.

                        At a guess, one's called CUDA and the other OpenCL.

                        print "http://www.codeproject.com".toURL().text Ain't that Groovy?

                            It's used by Google in their search engines. I have an interesting post about GPU's and Amdahls's Law on Nvidia: How can CUDA break Amdahl's Law?[^] If you are thinking of using CUDA, you might want to read the post first, it may or may not help your team make a decision to use CUDA. The truth about CUDA is revealed. ~TheArch :cool:

                              Sure, but I don't really like the API. Someone make LINQ to CUDA please? :)

                              If you can find me the CUDA Language Spec (Op Code) I will make a IL -> CUDA IL assemble linker for it. I looked around for it a few weeks ago, but could not find it. The alternitive it to use DirectML, but I have no idea when it's comming out?!?! ~TheArch

                                DirectML(sp?) will do it also. A mathematics lib for in the next version of DirectX.

                                      Yea I tried that some time ago, but while it is nice it only works on 32bit mode and/because it uses DirectX. It's convenient, but the performance is not great, and in 64bit mode it just dies because the DirectX dll's die (MS's fault) which makes it impossible to use it in a plugin for Paint.NET without making it multi-process but that would completely kill the performance. And it seems a bit abandoned.

                                          Kind of. There is also a .NET plug in for CUDA. You don't have to wite C code to get to the GPU. I have not tested it though. It can be found on the Nvidia CUDA applications portal.
