Well, I'll bite. My first reaction to this was, why? Then I did some Googling and found the following article: http://www.apcmag.com/apc/v3.nsf/0/5F125BA4653309A3CA25705A0005AD27 And also noted the GPU Gems 2 site here: http://developer.nvidia.com/object/gpu_gems_2_home.html So, my new found perspective is, why not? Best wishes for success, especially since I have a certain affinity for McGill...
