This is of course a mix of Lisp and shader code. It would be possible to create a Lisp to GLSL shader compiler and then have the GLSL compiler do the rest. I don't think this would be a great idea, however. Somewhat lengthy explanation required but left off...

Hi everyone,

I am about to buy a new server for number crunching, and I would like to

keep my options open about GPU/CUDA based computations. The most
intensively parallelizable thing that I am doing is particle filtering,
and currently that works fine (and is really fast) in a multi-core CPU
with SBCL, but I keep hearing wonderful things about GPUs from people,
and I was wondering if I could make use of them but still program in CL.

Best,

Hi Tamas,

Did you make any progress in your GPU adventures? I just got a machine with a
tesla GPU. I'd like to run some Monte Carlo simulations on it.
