Title: GPU optimized application
Post by: abachler on 20 Dec 2007, 08:18:26 pm

I code for GPU's all the time and would like to write a GPU optimized seti client using RapidMind.  The only problem is Im not sure exactly what algorithm the application is using to analyze the data or if it would be feasable to implement on a GPU.  Is there somewhere I could find this information?

The user Devaster already tried using rapidmind but there was a problem with the rapidmind backend and he moved development to cuda from there. If they have fixed the rapidmind backend problem then feel free to contact him as he may have the code he was working on still...

Im glad to hear they fixed it... I also look forward to seeing what magic you can make with it.

EDIT: Also in case you have not noticed there is a GPU child board. If someone could move this to the correct location... Thx.

MOD Gecko_R7: Done.

Devaster and I are corresponding on the issue now.  Im working on a way to optimize the FFT on the GPU.  It looks promising so far.

I'm glad to hear that it is looking good.

P.S. Thanks Gecko_R7....

here is example implementation of FFT by RM - its may be usefull ...

Interesting code, specially the rapidmind stuff which is quit new for me, do you know where can i download rapidmind? (can't find a link on http://www.rapidmind.net)

Hello everyone, i am trying to download rapidmind but i can't seem to find any of the download locations. Is it possible for anyone to direct me to a place were i can download the linux version of the program.

Thanks in advance...
