Not sure if its been mentioned here yet, but there's already a convultion verb that runs on an Nvidia GPU: http://www.nilsschneider.de/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=29&Itemid=26 It's Pc only, so i haven't tried, but a really cool proof of concept. -Andrew Sorkin On Thu, Dec 4, 2008 at 2:00 PM, victor wrote: > That seems a nice idea to propose to a funding agency, does it not? > OpenCL (from its wikipedia page) looks scary. > > As an aside, OpenMP, which is being used by Yann and the > FAUST guys seems to be an interesting way to go about > programming parallel stuff. > > Victor > > ----- Original Message ----- From: "Richard Dobson" < > richarddobson@blueyonder.co.uk> > To: > Sent: Thursday, December 04, 2008 9:23 PM > Subject: [Csnd] Re: : BArCMuT @ CNMAT - Dec 4 > > > > Indeed - the Tesla C1060 processor (now actually available, at a mere >> $1700) is on my Christmas list to Santa (together with a PC with PCI Express >> to put it in). >> >> They show as one example project in their applications page a FIR filter >> implementation, and as of the last time I looked, that was the only audio >> example.
