>>I recently read of super computing coming to desktops through NVIDIA's GPU, so I bought the NVIDIA 9800 graphics card to give it a try. It works. It is done through CUDA which is some sort of C language that will run on the GPU. In the background on my computer(s) I run seti at home and other science data. The increase in the execution of those apps is astonishing. The GPU cut hours of the processing of the data. Here is a link that talks about it more. http://www.nvidia.com/object/personal_supercomputing.html So, how can we cause VFP to use the GPU if it's available?

I'd expect most of the work would still need to be done in CUDA then exposing that functionality in VFP. So your VFP code would just make calls back into CUDA to do the heavy lifting.

Eek! Tell John Conner we found Cyberdyne http://www.evolvedmachines.com/
That is quite the company. I'll read more of their stuff soon, Thanks

More to the discussion is this: It takes 27 minutes to process what used to take 5 to 7 hours on my machine.
