Chemical computations, such as of molecular dynamics, that rely on clusters or uma-type computers, are starting to be performed through GPGPU technology, that is by putting graphical boards to general floating point use. The first reports are of 10 to 80 times speeding up with respect to the best single processors, i.e., something that so far required big multicore machines for traditional computing. NVIDIA CUDA seems to be a leader in this area.
As an amd64 user on traditional uma-type keyboards or clusters, may I ask where to get independent information as to the hardware/software required for GPGPU computing? thanks francesco pietra -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-amd64-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
