Hi,
Using the GPU for the evaluations has been discussed in earlier threads on this
mailing list. However doing GPGPU calculations has always been depending on a
shading language (GPGL, GLSL or Cg). If this new technology (CUDA) can simplify
this and allow us to make the evaluations with the GPU right out of the box, it
will be more tempting to make a go for it. (It's actually a really simple
calculation and can be done with a saxpy operation in a BLAS library)
Sounds like this can be a nice science project for a student or a geek. (Like
me?)
