Is anyone running any GPGPU code on Solaris? I ask because with AMD Fusion coming down the road, it seems that most AMD64 machines will have access to GPU based computation functions.
With Solaris and Sun moving to a highly threaded programming model (Fortress), might these functions be incorporated into the OS? http://ati.amd.com/developer/techreports/2006/I3D2006/Peercy-Performance-Oriented_Data_Parallel_Virtual_Machine_for_GPUs(SIG06_Sketch).pdf >From my understanding one of the applications would be implementing highly parallelized sorting networks. (Sorting seems pretty general purpose to me)... -Brian P.S. - This is mostly food for thought.
