GIve it a try with some of your calculation-heavy sheets and report if it performs much better than Excel.

Bonus for me: one of my bug reports is mentioned in the release notes. Woot!

(Don't ask which one. I'm shy.)

LibreOffice Calc uses GPU acceleration by OpenCL or CUDA.

I would love to know which calculations it uses the GPU for, though. Most of the sheets I've tried don't really show any improvement between OpenCL on and off. If anyone has some benchmarks and link to sheets that really benefit from GPU (up to 7x faster according to some claims), I would be grateful.
