TJ, if you eventually do make Amibroker able to use the 64 IDLE
cored, be sure to let US know in advance so we can buy LEAPS "If they are
available" in NVida.
I am guessing that as this amazing software becomes more widely
known, a lot of Analysis outside of the StockMarket will be done
with your software. Ron D

As for CUDA, I already investigated it. There are several problems:
a)
memory transfer especially memory write -
only PCIExpress cards deliver
resonable rates
b) only "top-tier" NVidia cards support CUDA (8x000 series)
that means
that for example all notebooks not having latest NVidia card are
out.
The same with all users using VM (virtual machines)
c) floating point
accuracy (FPUS on graphic cores are NOT IEEE compliant).
Best

Too bad that we cant run the calculation on the 64 idle
cores in
the
video card using the CUDA api. Now that would be
cool.
Now, theres an interesting thought!
I'll leave the computer
department to sort that one out while I dream
up some more applications for
all of this power we are going to have
(Tomasz said, from the time I started
with AB, that I wanted the MP3
player, and everything else as well, so it
looks as if we are now
close to having the means to deliver it all, plus
some).
