Comments on: Worksheet 3 – Draft Proposal http://bigdavedev.com/honours-blog/2009/10/worksheet-3-draft-proposal/ Tue, 27 Oct 2009 18:00:46 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: Big Dave http://bigdavedev.com/honours-blog/2009/10/worksheet-3-draft-proposal/comment-page-1/#comment-57 Big Dave Tue, 27 Oct 2009 18:00:46 +0000 http://bigdavedev.com/honours-blog/?p=73#comment-57 Hi Ian, Thanks for the comment. Using GPGPU doesn't require a high end card as such. Merely one that is CUDA enabled in the case of NVIDIA. CUDA also runs independent of an API, there is no need apparently, since you are working directly on the card itself. It does offer interoperability with DX9 and up though, so the features provided by them can be used in conjunction with the GPGPU tenchniques. I am dead set on doing this on the PS3, however I am not fully aware as yet what restrictions there will be with regards to the SDK we receive. I am hoping there will be few ;) Dave Hi Ian,

I like that you have already planned out even what particular model you are planning on implimenting. Are you currently set on doing this on the PS3 or using a GPGPU?(I've not read much into these, but I believe this requires a very high end Graphics card and DX10, so i'm assuming the PS3 doesnt have such a thing?) If you are planning on doing this on the PS3 how are u getting access to the graphics card? I was under the impression the linux kits the University has access to doesnt allow access? Overall a well thought out honors project idea and I wish you luck with it. - Ian This all sounds very interesting, good choice of topic, and you have clearly read quite deeply into the subject already.
