Quick background- I have a subsurface fluid flow simulation tool that I wrote several years ago. From it, I started up a consultancy company, which is finally paying the bills. The algorithms lend ...

Although the performance and efficiency gain of using accelerators, including GPUs, can be quite staggering, programming for boosted systems still presents some challenges, despite the large amount of ...

I'm planning to build an i5 or i7 based system in January. It will be running Linux (probably OpenSUSE) and used primarily for programming, running and visualizing numerical simulations (specifically ...

This whitepaper evaluate OpenCL as a programming tool for developing performance-portable applications for GPGPUs. While the Khronos group developed OpenCL with programming portability in mind, ...

We start off with Indigo. IndigoBench offers a standalone benchmark application based on Indigo 4's advanced rendering engine, useful for measuring the performance of modern CPUs and GPUs. Due to the ...

NVIDIA had told us it would be accelerating its CUDA program to try and get an advantage over its competitors as OpenCL brings general-purpose GPU computing to the mainstream, and it looks like that ...

Apple's push to accelerate Mac performance in innovative ways is likely to bind the company even closer to NVIDIA's GPUs, which already support the OpenCL technology Apple will be releasing in Mac OS ...

We spent some time on the phone with NVIDIA today in the wake of last night's official release of the OpenCL GPU-processing spec, and we learned some interesting things. NVIDIA thinks OpenCL is going ...
