Hi all!
I became introduced to general-purpose GPU programming here:
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/extremeprogramming/message/148167 , and it
piqued my interest. Now, I maintain
http://fc-solve.berlios.de/ which is a
solver for certain variants of Solitaire card games written in ANSI C, and I
was wondering if it was feasible to port it to run on my ATI Radeon HD 2600.
I visited the following page on the wikipedia -
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPGPU and while I didn't thoroughly read it, I
saw a link there to
http://developer.amd.com/GPU/Pages/default.aspx which
contains many links to different libraries, but without too much explanation
of the purpose and intent of all of them.
So my question is: assuming I want to port fc-solve to run on GPUs, how should
I start? And would it be at all possible with my hardware? And I'm using
Linux, of course.
Regards,
Shlomi Fish
