nVidia unveils CUBA - The GPU Computing Revolution

Comments   0   Date Arrow  February 7, 2007 at 1:54am   User  by Harry Kalogirou

In a recent press release nVidia anounced CUBA. A fundamentaly new architecture for GPU computing that will finally remove the stream computing paradigm!

This is like my previous post about gpus and the programming model was read by nVidia! Imagine we will finally be able to harvest the powers of modern GPUs for general computing, without having to mess with vertex buffer, textures and other nonsense!

Good days ahead!!!
