There are quite a few clever tricks to manage irregular problems. See poster: http://www.nvidia.com/content/GTC/posters/2010/A06-Task%20Ma... Also a presentation on OptiX shows how to implement ray tracer: http://www.nvidia.com/object/gt

For me article is missing the point. The GPU are best at accelerating small data & computation intensive portions of your program. Most of the code will be executed on CPU, usually only a few functions are bottleneck and needs to be por

The right answer is in the middle. Of course speed up depends on what are you comparing, but if you benchmark GPU against decent four core CPU the speed up is in order of magnitude. For dense Matrix currently is about eight times ( http://f

In CUDA kernel to PTX compilation is performed when the project is build. In OpenCL it is performed at runtime. That is "initialization overhead" which cause result to be different. You could use cache to avoid it. So the reason of the perf

Writing the resume is not a rocket science, you should be able to do it on your own. Although, you may need someone to proofread it.

I am quite interested what is the business model for Wolfram Alpha. It seems that is rather focused on data analysis then searching. It might be tough to rely solely on ads, but perhaps companies may be willing to pay to run their computati

How about a data analysis for newspapers articles? I guess it could be nice to enforce your claims with real statistics.

It seems that Google did a good job implementing mercurial on its own infrastructure. It could encourage open source developers to switch from subversion to hg.

Both Java language and C++ suffer from backward compatibility. Of course it is a must from business point of view, but it is also a major obstacle. Once bad design decision is made, no one could fix it. The Python doesn't strictly follow th
