Right, that's OpenCL. Doing a quick web search it appears that ATI has stated pretty clearly that they won't do CUDA. Politically its interesting as Apple is really making OpenCL part of some core efforts. If NVidia doesn't support that then they aren't likely to end up on Mac systems. So it looks like potential for a bit of a (defacto) standards battle.

Subject: Re: [Swarm-Modelling] Large scale ABM Simulation on the GPU For anyone who hasn't seen the demo, its absolutely astonishing. Is CUDA NVidia only? I've been looking at the OpenCL stuff that Apple is pushing but there isn't a lot out yet. On Nov 7, 2008, at 7:36 AM, Roshan D'Souza wrote:
I just wanted to share my latest publication in JASSS on ABM simulation on the GPU. In this paper, we describe a framework designed to execute in a data-parallel mannner on graphics processing units that is upto 3 orders of magnitude faster than the state-of-the-art simulation toolkits. _______________________________________________ Modelling mailing list address@hiddenhttp://www.swarm.org/mailman/listinfo/modelling
