Skjermkort som superprosessor

Det er på tide at man kan bruke disse kraftige GPUene til litt mer enn bare spill. Potensialene er store for visualisering/simulering av komplekse data innenfor medesine, forskinig, oljeindustri osv.

 

Jeg har ikke hatt en nøye gjennomgang av ATI's satsing på dette område, men har undersøkt en del på CUDA og det virker veldige lovende. Jeg tror at vi kommer til å se flere "overlegne" apllikasjoner snart, fordi Nvidia har endlige klart å release 2 viktige fundemntale SDK, nemlige både "SDK 10" og "PhysX SDK" er release versjoner.

 

Nå gjenstår det bare at de får finguren ut og fikser CUDA 2.0 BETA2 og par andre viktige programeringsverktøy til å bli ferdig release versjon.

Folding initativet synes jeg viser at CUDA fungerer godt.

det er nok endel planer om bedre bruk av gpu i forbindelse med fushion

 

utdrag fra AMD refines its approach to Stream Computing

 

Last, but not least, I asked how the Stream SDK fit into AMD's Fusion initiative, which aims to integrate graphics cores into desktop and mobile microprocessors. Would we see mainstream GPGPU apps run on the integrated GPU core?

 

[That's] absolutely the direction you should expect, and in fact one of the big reasons for AMD to invest in this technology... Well, [there are] three reasons. One, we believe that this will be a fundamental requirement for mainstream graphics in the next few years, as we move towards a programming standard you're gonna see more and more mainstream application developers and ISVs [independent software vendors] want to take advantage of this capability, so we believe it's gonna be a requirement. Just baseline. On top of that, there certainly is market for incremental GPUs in technical markets and some of the high-end professional markets and we'd certainly like to play in that space.

 

And, finally, this really helps to set us up and take us down a technology path to prepare for the Fusion program—our Accelerated Computing programs—and there are a couple of ways in which that happens. The software stack, which you see represented here, basically evolves into a more comprehensive and higher-level set of tools that we think the company needs to get to and the industry needs to get to, to enable developers to take advantage of heterogeneous architectures without having to be early adopters who can program anything. So we think this toolkit is a good beginning for what it ultimately needs to be to handle much broader heterogenous architectures like those that we'll implement in the Fusion project.

 

 

en god del mer her

 

iallefall slik jeg forsto dette interjuet.

En spennende tid vi går i møte nå hvor GPU blir brukt til annet enn spill i mye større grad.
