Hello, community! The future of desktop CPUs by Intel, AMD, and VIA is that of integrated GPU cores. (Intel: Sandy Bridge, AMD: Fusion, VIA: VN1000(?))
These GPU cores (or modules) allow to perform vector arithmetic with huge performance advantage over "classic" CPU cores. Being part of EVERY desktop PC in the future, this technology can't be ignored. So my question is: do plans exist to include support for GPU cores (or stream processors) into standard Java? P.S.: I know that there is JNI and that theoretically every third-party API can be wrapped in it to be usable by Java, and surely, such APIs do exist for stream processors already. But I'm glad I don't have to use third-party APIs in Java for sound, networking and GUI. Providing standard APIs for standard components, that's what Java is about, right? Best regards, Ivan G Shevchenko
