nVidia, by far the best GPU maker of course :cheesygrin: has released CUDA, a C compiler package which allows programmers to run calculations on the Geforce 8800 and up series GPUs. CUDA uses the GPU as a coprocessors, so now software can be made that uses the GPU to do stuff so the CPU can do other stuff. Just to show how cool this is, the Geforce 8800 GTX has 128 cores (shaders) running at 1.1Ghz each. And with 2 of these cards in SLi setup, you have a 1+ teraflops system (which is really fast).
