从最近nv的press release来看

Einstein@Home
NVIDA CUDA technology will soon be powering the third most widely used BOINC project, Einstein@Home, which uses distributing computing to search for spinning neutron stars (also called pulsars) using data from gravitational wave detectors.
“We expect that porting Einstein@Home to GPUs will increase the throughput of our computing by an order of magnitude,” said Bruce Allen, director of the Max Plank Institute for Gravitational Physics and Einstein@Home Leader for the LIGO Scientific Collaboration. “This would permit deeper and more sensitive searches for continuous-wave sources of gravitational waves.”
“Parallel processing is the key to enabling visual computing, whether in the home, office or research lab, and the CUDA-accelerated GPU is the leading engine behind this trend. Distributed computing is an ideal application for parallel processing, so it’s no surprise that these amazing applications are taking advantage of the GPU’s unprecedented computational power” said Michael Steele, General Manager of Visual Consumer Solutions at NVIDIA. “NVIDIA GPUs are transforming the way we work, play, live and discover.”
似乎boinc平台上下一个支持cuda的项目应该就是einstein@home了:) |
