CUDA Renderer?


#1

All,

Anybody know how hard it would be to get a CUDA (C for NVIDIA GPU’s) version of LightWave’s Batch Renderer?

Most CUDA bench marks I’ve seen offer a 10X+ speedup over using CPUs by using a regular GPU, Boxx’s new $10,000 Tesla workstation is supposedly as powerful as 100 PC’s (http://www.boxxtech.com/products/BOXX_PSC/BOXX_PSC.asp), and NVIDIA claims they have a version that’s as powerful as 250 PC’s.

A CUDA version of Modeler & Layout might be nice too, but let’s not be greedy. :slight_smile:
