BigDaveDev – Honours

I have installed the CUDA SDK at home and have requested that it be installed in the GameLab at Abertay as well.  Having looked through some of the examples supplied – demonstrating, for example,  real-time ray tracing – I am beginning to understand just how important GPGPU methods could become.  It is clear that harnessing the power of CUDA could be the next stage in game development.

And with the Khronos Group releasing OpenCL in a bid to encapsulate both NVIDIA CUDA and AMD Stream in a similar manner to OpenGL and OpenAL, it is reasonable to expect developers to begin using this in the near future also.

Following are some web-sites to read through to gain a better understanding of CUDA
