Parallel Programming: CUDA hope now?
/. pointed Geek's article "NVIDIA is shaking up the parallel programming world" which tried to point to EETimes. I found:
"Nvidia unleashes Cuda attack on parallel-compute challenge"
Alas, Nvidia isn't the only one working on this problem as evidenced by articles like "Intel expects dev tools to bring success in graphics market" or "Industry, Stanford hope to fix what ails parallel processing".
Parallel programming has been one of the most over promised and under delivered computer science technologies (AI is the other one). And I believe we still have long ways to go, even though multi-core systems are here on our desktops and game consoles (PS3 and Xbox 360 have multi-core CPUs).
