[GRASS-dev] GRASS and GPGPU

[Dylan Beaudette]

Has anyone considered the possibility of doing stream-based calculations on 
the GPU [1] for raster operations on large datasets ? 

1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPGPU

It appears that this method works best on highly vectorized instructions, 
often in 2 "dimensions"-- appropriate for matrix/grid computations.

Just a thought.
