A great chance seems to > have passed by ... I may be interested in CUDA/HPC as well in the near future, and I will likely use some dedicated Linux boxes as compute servers for that purpose. Of course I'd prefer a FreeBSD native solution, but I won't wait for Godot until that materializes out of thin air. Of course, while having native solutions would be great, the next best solution, a working Linuxulator that groks enough Linux drivers to run the Linux OpenCL and other HPC tools would be better than nothing. But not being familiar with the interfaces concerned and not being able to contribute making that happen, I'm not complaining. -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/
