One word: CUDA.

Or at least that's what I was playing with until I crashed my X server and decided it was time to boot into windoze for a spot of Crysis...

Ah nice, what're you doing with it?


I've only just built a system capable of running it so right now I'm learning how to wield it.

Having a 'SIMT' system that can throw hundreds of thousands of threads at a problem (up to ~24000 of which can be executing at any given instant with nearly zero context switch overhead) requires quite a different approach in code design than I'm presently used to :-)
