Title: GPGPU support
Post by: 0x69 on December 01, 2010, 09:59:58 AM
Hi guys !



First newLISP is great ! How about GPGPU support ? Are there some wrappers for GPGPU libraries such as OpenCL, CUDA ? If not - maybe devs can make bindings to that libs (preferably to OpenCL, because its open source and is not locked-in to NVIDIA cards).





Please, add support, also that could potentially attract people from C+CUDA/OpenCL to newLISP+OpenCL :-)



best wishes...

I am considering to purchase a GPU workstation but the GPU computing is really new to me. As I know GPU computing is very powerful in terms of computing and modeling; and this is the main reason why I consider to purchase a GPU machine. I know few R packages support the GPU computing but I do not know is it worth to purchasing a GPU workstation or not? My concern is that if R does not fully support (like Matlab) the GPU computing, I might go for a regular workstation or Apple Mac Pro.



Can someones give me your adices or share the experience on R with the GPU computing.



many thanks in advance!
