In other news, the upcoming Microsoft Direct3D 11 will feature compute shaders. If I read correctly, this is shipping in Windows 7. NVIDIA is already out promoting the compatibility with CUDA. Apparently, this technology is also sometimes called DX Compute.

February 16, 2009And what do we have here? It seems that Nvidia and AMD are already on top of the idea of offloading AI onto GPUs.

Multicore Video Cards (Again)
February 16, 2009I’ve previously posted on the topics of CUDA and Larrabee. I continue to be intrigued by the possibilities that open up as multi-core GPU programming becomes available. For applications that need many threads this should present interesting opportunities. Why bother struggling to run your parallel application in the meager 4 or 8 cores of your CPU when you can offload the work to 32 cores?
