I have just committed a basic example which shows exactly how to achieve that using sort-first distribution; i.e. using point-to-point communication. It is a simple port of the nbody example from the CUDA SDK. Hence, it is by no means efficient because there are far too many memory transfers and GPU up/downloads involved, but it illustrates the strategy quite well I hope. More to come... cheers, Philippe _______________________________________________ eq-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.equalizergraphics.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/eq-dev http://www.equalizergraphics.com
