New eventual possibilities by Nvidia to compile S@H client with Nv CUDA platform
« on: 09 Nov 2006, 04:22:49 am »

With the release of their newest architecture nvidia is starting a API called CUDA, C compilers to let developers send their code to the graphicscard to execute massive calculation power and parallelizm..

Look below fellow optimisers

That looks to be a much more workable approach than what ATI has until now, especially due to the separation of the GPU and general purpose processing stuff. Not having to rely on shaders and a workaround is a good thing.

Since the new nVidia generation is organized into 16 blocks of 16 stream processors, it should be a parallel computation monster (each stream processor runs at 1.3+ GHz and has unified cache for the 16 sub-processors).

Still, the cost of getting one is pretty high at this point. Will be interesting to see how much work it takes to parallelize computation - as I see it now, it's all happening serialized instead.

Regards,
Simon.

I think so to that it is serialized but if there were possible to execute one executable to send out 128 pcs of S@H applications that match the shader possibilities it would be tremendous parallell execution , if it were possible it would be such fun to see 128 S@H progressing albeit slowly all at once  Shocked ..

Hi ,)

Glaubs´t, du kannst einen Client dafür schreiben?

Ich derzeit nicht, aber vielleicht spendet ja jemand ne GTX 8800 zum Testen? Wink

Wär doch notwendig damit man sowas entwickeln kann, und kostet ne Stange Geld....

Ansonsten, nettes Projekt, findet sich sicher wer der's ausprobieren will wenn man ihm die Hardware sponsert. Ernsthafte Angebote vorausgesetzt...

Simon.

Naja  Wink

Naja Spenden ist leida net drin, aber bestellt ist´s schon (  QX6700 + ASUS EN8800GTX)

Mich würde nur ein´s wirklich interess. , obs möglich ist.

Gehn sollt's, wenn auch nur unter erheblichem Aufwand (Parallelisierung von derzeit sequentiellem Code) bzw. starten von 16 oder 128 threads, ne nachdem was so eine Mini-Rechen-Einheit da kann.

Sorry!  I ask only "it is possible to make a Client for the new nVidia GPU´s"

Naja, die "mini Rechen Einheit" hat 681 Millionen Transistoren .

Also nicht so mini.

Was ich mich frage, reicht die pci-e gesch. aus?

Lg

ps. woher kommst du so ungefähr  Wink

Has someone got a response in anyway from nvidia??

I have posted to be part to their Cuda program but haven't got any response at all in over a week!
