Hi all, Last Tuesday, I think, NVidia released their CUDA toolkit freely allowing anybody to let their graphic card help lifting some of the weight from the CPU. The download is at http://www.nvidia.com/object/cuda_get.html. The programs are written in C annotated with proprietary extensions.
I tried to convert libego to at least compile (because making it parallel is a little more difficult), but I couldn't make it in the available time. At first, it looked like it would be relatively easy to move from C++ to C, but it's not straighforward. It would probably be easier to go with earlier versions that didn't use that many hard-to-translate constructs, like for example templates. I hope someone with more time available (and a GeForge graphics card) will let us know when they manage to give it a try. It would be very interesting to find out if it goes as we'd like to. best regards, Vlad _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
