I ran across a program called "Brook GPU" which compiles programs to be run by the Graphics Processing Unit. Specifically, a floating-point FFT was one of the included sample programs, so I thought it might be possible to implement a Mersenne tester in the Brook language. Then, one could use his graphics card to test exponents, even if he were already using his CPU for same.
Has anyone considered this before?
