[Freesurfer] Notes on CUDA Acceleration

2010-08-24 Thread Richard G. Edgar
Greetings, I've been asked to provide some extra information about GPU support in Freesurfer (being the one guilty of mri_em_register_cuda...). Firstly, there are no immediate plans for OpenCL support. It would be very nice to have - with ATI, NVIDIA _and_ x86 multicore backends. However, it's fa

[Freesurfer] Update on mri_em_register_cuda

2010-09-01 Thread Richard G. Edgar
Greetings, I've been running more extensive tests on mri_em_register_cuda, trying to determine why it sometimes gives substantially different results to mri_em_register. The problem appears to stem from the construction of the transform matrix on the CPU and GPU. This occurs slightly differently o
