> Why not opencl? Yes if we were going for a very simple OpenCL in Clojure Syntax, the yes OpenCL is usable. However, last I checked, the OpenCL kernel language did not support virtual functions or dynamic memory allocation. That is only the CPU is allowed to allocate memory. This is something that CUDA offers, and would be needed if we wanted a more complete Clojure implementation running on the GPU.
So basically OpenCL has to cater to the lowest common denominator, while CUDA is only really concerned with NVidia GPUs released in the past few years. So it's a balance between power and compatibility. Timothy -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
