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.
I basically have two questions:
- What is the current status of using CPUs for computation in CL (in particular SBCL)? All I found was CL-GPU but I haven't tried it yet (my current server does not have a GPU).
- What hardware is supported (if I want to use CL)? Can I use something like Nvidia's TESCLA C line?
Any help/pointers/accounts would be appreciated, I am just exploring this so I don't know much about it yet, apologies if I am not asking the right questions.
Best,
Tamas
