NVIDIA CUDA Emulator for every PC
NVIDIA's CUDA GPU compute API could be making its way to practically every PC, with an NVIDIA GPU in place, or not. A chinese freelance developer has coded a means to get CUDA work as a middleware on OpenCL. This move lets CUDA work on ATI Radeon GPUs that support OpenCL, as well as x86 CPUs, since OpenCL specs allow the API to run on CPUs for development purposes. The implications of these are many:
DOWNLOAD: CUDA Emulator Loader This development could also have its implications on the industry, as not very long ago developers at NGOHQ.com successfully ran PhysX on ATI Radeon GPUs. Something NVIDIA didn't object to, seeing it as an opportunity to propagate PhysX and maybe highlight better performance on GeForce GPUs. AMD cold-shouldered that development and later announced its own plans to develop GPU physics processing with Havoc. The developer wishes to remain anonymous till such legal issues are ironed out. It was originally posted at jishuyi.com.cn, a Chinese techsite, which doesn't seem to be reachable outside of the PRC - probably by China's protective networks. We will shortly publish a comprehensive review of CUDA performance on ATI Radeon GPUs. Source: Jinshuyi.com.cn |

Nvidia needs to give this guy some sort of an award. Finally something that makes their silly proprietary idea more like a standard.

God bless China.
You get a pop up box with two values. One for the application and the other for a command line.

pff this must be fake - unlike my genuine pc component downloader thread here - that stuff is 100% legit.
**edit** wow, suprisingly this is also 100% legit - thanks for finding and linking one of the most awesome software emulation tools ever guys

If it did happen for real, they'd sure reward him with a nice big fat juicy lawsuit for cease and decease any modification of their proprietary code ...

I wonder if someday we will move all CPU arc to openCL, everything to run on openCL would be sweet on 500 cores processors.
