[TV] Cuda means Compute Unified Device Architecture, see [http://www.nvidia.com/Cuda] or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUDA], and is in essence a small supercomputer on a modern graphics card (of NVidia, but hey, they've pretty well available). In fact There's also Tesla, based on simular computing nodes, which preferably in version 8 (with hardware double precision floating point units) can make supercomputing workstations with over 4TFlops of power for unter 10k$. Cuda already has a perl interface IIRC, handy to play around with. [TV] himself currently has not done anything with Tcl/Cuda yet, but wants both scripting with cuda programs and a parallel Cuda implementation of tcl (at least in some academic form to play with). ---- !!!!!! %| enter categories here |% !!!!!!
