Jeshua,

I will be happy to assist with v.surf.rst, v.vol.rst (I even have v.volt.rst - that is 3D+time). It has been parallelized couple times in past - the parallel version never survives more than one release cycle because the tools for parallelization or the architecture changes and there is nobody to update. I may have one more recent version that was done for beowulf cluster. Let me know if you would like to look at it. That was done at the segment level, but running it just with parallelized lineq solver should help too because that would allow
larger segments and larger overlaps.

Indeed. Precisely the reason why I think it is so compelling.

There are about the same number of transistors in my GPU that are in my CPU. Most of the time most of those transistors in my GPU are just sitting there idling (99% of the time I do not do any intensive 3D tasks), it sure would be nice to be able to put them to use.

And you can easily add more GPUs to machine, not the case with CPUs....


Best,
