[amibroker] Re: Freakishly fast backtest using 64 cores

Clearly in the future we will have more cores to work with.  

The intel design is a very different approach to the problem.  It 
will be interesting to see what kind of performance they get out of 
it when they have real silicon to demo.

The thing that impressed me the most about the cuda architecture is 
how well it hides memory latency.  Rather than have a very deep 
pipeline, a monster cache, and complex logic to do branch prediction, 
etc.  It just has many threads ready to run with zero overhead to 
switch between them using a simple register renaming scheme.  This 
works well for problems that have lots of data that can be operated 
on separately.  

The future will only bring more options.

I would like to see Nvidia and ATI to agree on a general purpose 
computing API so that code can be written to run on both brands.
