Collatz: NVIDIA vs. ATI

@ Gipsel

How does the nVidia compare to the ATI on this project?
Quite well. They should have roughly comparable speeds.
We still have to test how the new algorithm (all apps are going to be updated in a few days) maps to nvidias hardware, but actually I would expect even a higher gain on nv (especially with GT200 class GPUs) than on ATI as the SFUs can be used in parallel to the normal ALUs (is not the case with the current algorithm).

But generally Collatz is not a project where the GPUs are a perfect match to the algorithm and one gets a perfect scaling and extremely high speedup compared to a CPU (like MW, you don't want to know how fast single precision would be :]). It should end up maybe around GPUGrid or so. But the credit thing is out of my area of responsibility. Slicker will have to decide that when the new apps are all ready.
 
Thank you

I'm trying to decide which direction to go, I'm in the process of building a gpu farm. I think this (gpu) will be the future of distributed computing.
