Question #214316 on Yade changed: https://answers.launchpad.net/yade/+question/214316
Bruno Chareyre posted a new comment: It worth implementing of course, in the sense that a parallel implementation should normally go faster than a non-parallel implementation, and that 248 cores (GPU) should be better than 4 cores (quad CPU). The point is GPU (Cuda) needs to completely re-design yade if you want a chance to gain speed, it means a lot of man*hour for the initial implementation and even more man*hour to keep track of the changes in the language itslef. If ordinary CPUs are going to also have hundreds of cores (Xeon Phi) and would run yade without any change in the code, why should we spend time adapting yade to a GPU technology that may be soon obsolete? -- You received this question notification because you are a member of yade-users, which is an answer contact for Yade. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~yade-users Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~yade-users More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
