No-Cost Tools: Teach Your GPU New Tricks

CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture), which I first told you about at the beginning of the year, enables you to develop applications that harness the GeForce 8800 graphics processor for broader GPGPU functions. Head over to Nvidia's developer website for the download, and to the company's developer forum for CUDA discussion.
