..these guys use GPU's as math engines?
Why not? It makes sense.
As a classmate of mine pointed out: the GPU is just a chip for matrix manipulations.
..aye. I'm just wondering how much work we can yank off the Control Process Unit and dump onto these General Purpose processing Unit_s_. ;-)
I was referring to Graphics processing units.
..me 2. ;-)
Am I missing something here? :-\
A joke ;-) (see the ";-)" smiley of Arnt)
..well, all good jokes can't come up with a potential like the
http://gpgpu.org; your average recent GPU chews code 6 times faster than your average CPU. So, we can use part of the GPU to show pretty pictures, and the remainder, say "half", to say, triple FG framerates? ;-)
Are there any decent books about those Navier-Stokes equations and how

Thanks for the links! I'll look deeper into them after the exams.
to implement them in C or java?
..nonono, FG is C++ and will likely remain so for all sortsa good
reasons I was buried under when I asked "Why not C like in the
kernel?", an extensive discussion of the wisdom of writing Java code can be found over at http://Groklaw.net/, hints on "follow the money", also points towards Redmond and Lindon, Utah.
I knew that FG was written in C++ :-p. Problem is that I haven't been properly educated to program in C++ (yet).
