Re: [Swarm-Modelling] Large scale ABM Simulation on the GPU

[Miles Parker]

some interesting bits there..

1. Includes Cell as well. Does this make it more attractive to you or  
would you generally like to deal w/ Cell directly?

2. Key is that they say they want to play for all GPUs, and NVidia  
*is* mentioned as partner. Hedging their bets, I guess, but again, if  
Apple is onboard, does NVidia really want to lose a smallish but  
lucrative and growing customer?

3. Re: Gary Polhill's msg, it appears that it will support IEEE 754.

4. Looks like there is some kind of resource discovery / managment  
capabilities envisioned.


And um, ok, do we really need High-Performance handhelds?? :)
