"CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture), a new computing architecture for using thread computing on Nvidia GPUs (graphics processing units).GPU computing with CUDA is a new approach to computing where hundreds of on-chip processor cores simultaneously communicate and cooperate to solve complex computing problems up to 100 times faster than traditional approaches.
"CUDA," will also allow the graphics chip to simulate physics processing and aid in general-purpose computing."
Nvidia will offer its new architecture first in its GeForce 8800 graphics processors which are geared toward consumers and gamers. -(great review and in depth architecture here)
Its professional line of Quadro graphics cards, which will hit the market in early 2007."
Another welcome step toward the return of the man-sized drawing table.
