I saw the post and took a quick look at the link - they claim to have a C compiler that runs on the graphics card. I'm sure it would require lots of specific NVidia functions calls (if it worked at all). As in the other discussion, the NN/evaluation code isn't very multi-threaded friendly - I can't imagine the potential work being worth the unlikely gain. In contrast to the article, dual/quad processor/cores and hyper threading is getting much more common and the gains here are relatively high (for the effort required). Who knows though, it might all change in the future. Jon
