Subject: Re: [Beowulf] What class of PDEs/numerical schemes suitable for GPU
clusters
...
and to run Beowulf class systems efficiently. Yes, for certain algorithms and
certain problems CUDA and Firestream accelerate things by 10, 20...100 times.
But don't lose track of the amount of power in the current generation - and
imminent Shanghai and Nehalem systems.
...
This said, I've had a nagging question of late - if I purchase an ATI desktop
graphics card that has streams akin to the official workstation FireStream GPU
processor, can I write code using their SDK that will work on the desktop
cards, often times within my college kid budget, unlike the FireStream series?
