RE: [Bug-gnubg] Multi-threading with NVIDIA CUDA

[Øystein O. Johansen]

Hi,

Using the GPU for the evaluations has been discussed in earlier threads on this 
mailing list. However doing GPGPU calculations has always been depending on a 
shading language (GPGL, GLSL or Cg). If this new technology (CUDA) can simplify 
this and allow us to make the evaluations with the GPU right out of the box, it 
will be more tempting to make a go for it. (It's actually a really simple 
calculation and can be done with a saxpy operation in a BLAS library)

Sounds like this can be a nice science project for a student or a geek. (Like 
me?)
