There is already some work ongoing in using the GPU in R and they use the CUDA toolkit as the reference you supplied do. http://brainarray.mbni.med.umich.edu/Brainarray/rgpgpu/ Thanks, Rob On 18 May 2011, at 10:07, oyvfos wrote: > Dear all, > Probably many of you experience long computation times when estimating large > number of parameters using maximum likelihood with functions that reguire > numerical methods such as integration or root-finding.
