http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=7198ATI's got its Stream Computing technology for GPGPU stuff, and we all knew it wouldn't be long before NVIDIA came along with an equivalent.
So here it is, NVIDIA's announced 'CUDA'. It stands for Compute Unified Device Architecture; lovely.

Sounds like a good idea to me. There is no reason not to have the GPU pitch in
for things like decoding and other tasks that it can be adapted to where 3D usage is practically 0.
Very cool. Had been wondering when this sort of thing would become officially supported.

Things have moved on since I first joined...
/me has seen some neat GPGPU stuff this week
It'll be cool if it speeds up tasks like video encoding, or other processor intensive stuff. Although I wouldn't use it for much other than games....
Do you think SLi systems benefit from having multiple processors? I'm curious.
wake me when we have 64-bit floating point precision
Doesn't the 8800 series have 128-bit FP precision?Originally Posted by directhex
in MarketingSpeak(tm), sure
it's 32 bit per color. RGBA makes 128 - but you can only do GPGPU maths with 32.
there's also the question of IEEE-754
