This isn't technically true. The NVIDIA drivers support compute, but there's other parts of the toolchain missing. /* I don't know about ATI/AMD, but I'd guess they likely don't support compute across platforms */ /* Disclaimer - The company I work for has a working HMPP compiler for Solaris/FreeBSD and we may soon support CUDA */ _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
