NVidia's GPU will speed up Apple Leopard and Windows
The head of the Tesla product line has proudly told the press that future models of nVidia graphics accelerators will accelerate not only 3D graphics in games, but also some tasks in Mac OS X Snow Leopard and Windows 7.
In the new “anti-Intel” terminology nVidia, next-generation graphics processors should be called GPUs, not GPUs, that is, “General Purpose GPUs”. This is a new platform on which it is possible to effectively parallelize tasks on hundreds and thousands of CPU cores and GPU cores using the OpenCL (Open Computing Language) programming environment based on C, which in some ways can be considered analogous to DirectX. By the way, even Apple on its site is in the list of advantages of the new operating system Snow Leopard, mentioning support for OpenCL.
Thus, the new OS will be the first to be able to fully use the GPU as a normal computing unit.
