Range isn't an issue (any reasonable scheme won't assign codes to scores that never occur), but you're right that qscores are both precise but not necessarily accurate. Quantization of quality scores is a common solution (it

tmurray is basically right: most of the really big reported gains are artifacts of unoptimized CPU code. Except for hardware special functions on GPUs, you shouldn't be able to exceed the theoretical perf ratios between GPU and CPU, wh

True -- you can use (in OpenCL) clEnqueueMapBuffer to get something that looks like memory-mapped IO, but the consistency guarantees are different from regular host-based MMIO. Specifically, if you map a GPU buffer for writes, there's

It's a cool idea; as other posters have mentioned, there have been other projects mapping VRAM for swap, etc. I'd personally be wary of putting anything too important into VRAM. About five years ago I did a bunch of work testing c

Most modern CPUs have the memory controller integrated on-die, so you'd need a different class of CPU -- and then you're right back to buying a Xeon.
