Re: [astro-viz] CUDA benchmarks

Software Bisque is using similar technology to accelerate asteroid orbital elements in the next version of Seeker. We will be demonstrating this next week at SEPA in Nashville. Using a desktop or even a laptop computer with a recent 3D graphics chip, we can evaluate over 400,000 sets of orbital elements over 60 times per second. Using the GPU as a general purpose computing device is a very exciting breakthrough technology.

In addition to CUDA, OpenCL is an emerging cross platform standard, and even GLSL (the OpenGL Shading Language) can be used to some degree to accelerate these kinds of computations.

Tom's Hardware review is quite positive if your application
accelerates the action you want to do. They say that Adobe
CS4 includes some CUDA acceleration, anyone have
experience with it?
