Comments on: Nvidia releases Cuda - and reinvents Stream Processing? http://www.thinkingparallel.com/2007/02/17/nvidia-releases-cuda-and-reinvents-stream-processing/ A Blog on Parallel Programming and Concurrency by Michael Suess Wed, 09 Jul 2008 02:32:08 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5 By: tramdas http://www.thinkingparallel.com/2007/02/17/nvidia-releases-cuda-and-reinvents-stream-processing/#comment-3179 tramdas Mon, 05 Mar 2007 03:11:05 +0000 http://www.thinkingparallel.com/2007/02/17/nvidia-releases-cuda-and-reinvents-stream-processing/#comment-3179 This is a bit OT because it is not specific to Cuda... Over the past few months there has been quite a lot of buzz over stream processing. However, I've been having a hard time really grasping what the difference is between stream processing and vector processing. Is a "stream processor" really any different than a "vector processor"? Or is the term "stream processing" in reference specifically to a slightly more sophisticated programming model? p/s-love the blog Michael! This is a bit OT because it is not specific to Cuda…

Cuda definitly looks saner than the alternatives (not that I know all of them). Whether or not they manage to *kill* them is another matter :-) Wes: you have a point.
