1) OpenCL library support is where CUDA was 2 years ago (but devleopment is picking up quick). -- This means, that the devleopment time will be more because you are going to be writing your own primitive functions which are available as a m

Since you said Python and are interested in GPUs (but not fully immersed in it yet), I want to show you this which can get you started (and also a shameless plug for the product I am the lead developer for) http://www.accelereyes.com/array

Just curios, how many here use CUDA / OpenCL on a regular basis ? I usually see GPU related posts come to the top around midnight or in the early hours of the day (off-peak hours to be precise). Makes me think that there are enough people w

CUDA 5.0 (not released yet) is going to have recursion and a bunch of other things. But most of these new features are available only on the new kepler 2 devices. As for memories, it becomes natural once you start programming CUDA day in an

What if the manager was managing 2000 people instead of 20 ? Would you want him to sit down and discuss the problems with each and every one of them ? In traditional companies there are heirarchies and such to avoid a single person being in

Probably on a linux / osx thing. I am having the same problem with firefox in Linux. props to Bing engineers for messing that up.

again, this is probably a kick back from Motorola for Microsoft going after them[1]. You can't expect to be a bully against a company that has been a good arsenal of patents (Google bought them for this), and not expect to be sued back. Bot

This is a sad situation. I don't want to name names, but the startup I am working at is being sued by a much bigger company for exactly the same thing. Copyright infringement over their APIs.

It says something that Microsoft is the only company that has been sued so far. May be Apple will be next, but these are the companies that initiate patent wars against their competitors. Now that the companies are hitting back, you think i

When you say _linux_, it is so broad. You have choices. You choose Ubuntu / Fedora / Linux Mint / ArchLinux / Gentoo for laptops. You choose CentOS / Debian / Gentoo for (older) desktops and servers. No one with a sane mind (or with enough

> I'm ok using Linux too, but I'd rather spend more time developing and less time messing with driver issues and a crappier user experience like I tend to in Linux. Issues 5-6 years ago. No longer a problem.

I am guessing the conversation may have taken in finnish. Linux is(was?) Finnish after all. Some words just do not translate well.

Here are a couple of observations 1) The implementation may not be the most effecient for a larger matrix or an even more dense matrix. 1% of 52000 is 520. That divided by 32 is 8-9 additions per thread. As that number increases, increasing

I have to ask, what was the point of the post ? It just looked like an endless rant deviating from the numbers that google was not publishing to the comparision with Facebook to the actual realization that G+ may not be a _ghost town_ and b

I have seen fixed width websites before. But there was some design element (and good reasoning behind it) to justify it. For the most part these kind of websites make sure you can just ignore the white space. But on google+, when they have

I was going to say similar, but there you go, you said it. Granted you need to prioritize when there are deadlines, but reading books and / or watching TV can be equally distracting. Another point I would like to add is that internet, for b

What metric are you using when you say equal display ? I have two laptops that display at 1080p (no, not an external monitor, just the laptop displays themselves).

This is a strange question to ask. I have known _how to program_ since I was in the 7th grade when we were taught ahem gbasic back in 1996. I have learn't C in my undergrad, taught myself a bit of python during the same period. Upto this

Free as in freedom. Not free pizza. If you are getting $150 an hour, there are better things to do with the money than flaunt it in public.

The article clearly mentions that the xbox is still going to use PowerPC, and the playstation may mod the x86 processor. And even if ps3 does leaves the processor as is, the OS they are going to use is not going to be windows. Perhaps a var
