I'm very curious about processing with GPUs. CUDA seems to be a very nice implementation available from Nvidia. This is a rather new technology.
I found a nice interview and here are some parts of it:
... GPUs and CPUs are very different. If you built a hybrid of the two, it would do both kinds of tasks poorly instead of doing both well
our next products will support double precision
The bigger picture is going to be that when CUDA tools arrive that allow you to write regular CUDA code that runs on the CPU as well as the GPU. Then it does run everywhere and we can start adding GPUs or CPU cores to increase performance
What Intel does well is not just building good CPUs, it's the fact that they're a vertically integrated manufacturing company - Intel's in the business of turning sand into money
I think that if we were to compete with Intel, we would need to become a vertically integrated company and have our own fabs
We have to keep an eye on Intel's Ct for multi-cores, too.
I'd like to do something with CUDA next year.
