[gdal-dev] Availability of Lanczos and cubicspline in gdaladdo

[Benoit Andrieu]

Wow ! Great !!

CUDA is ideal for this kind of processing and should be "easy" to get very high performances.
But maybe you should want to wait for OpenCL to get out from the specs phase ?
You could support NVidia/ATI/Larrabee in a single shot... but you'll have to wait for some times...

On my side, I would like to see what could be done with Intel's IPP.
We are using it on our softwares and it is really fast. Could be interesting to use it in GDAL / Mapserver.
