nVidia's chief scientist talks GPUs, DX11, Larrabee, etc.

I especially liked the "M-hm" responses. Someone get a few drinks in that guy, loosen his lips a bit...

I find something fishy about that, I mean he gave a spontaneous reply to the ray tracing !! Why not this huh !!
 
PCGH: So, I can just take my CUDA program, port the host-based part of code to support the ARM-architecture and then it'll run on a smartphone for example.

Bill Dally: That's the goal, yes. We want CUDA to run across the entire product line. CUDA everywhere. [Except everyone who owns an ATI graphics card of course]

PCGH: So it is more important to you to support CUDA everywhere, than to make a decision between the host architecture, between ARM and x86 for example?

Bill Dally: I don't think the instruction set of the CPU matters a whole lot. In running the CUDA program, which is running on the GPU, even on the GPU part we have an abstract with PTX which will then translate to support multiple generations of Streaming Multiprocessors that have slightly different native assembly languages. So it doesn't matter what the native assembly language of the host is.

"Except everyone who owns an ATI graphics card of course"

Ya.. no. That's not the situation. Nvidia is willing to help ATI implement it on their cards. ATI just doesn't want to. Since they only want to stick with OpenCL. Plus it's probably partially about pride, refusing to support a rivals software.

If that ^^ is actually true, then ATI is the suck!
 
Nv went out bought themselves some new coders. Here we see them relaxing in sun painting.

He is telling trueth tho . He is their new science guru who is going to create a wonder compiler in a short period of time . Because in the above high lights. Those layers he is talking about require great compilers. The compilers are the lock . For NV . Cuda is key or just C. Thats native. Intels super duper compiler was VLIW native what it is now not sure but were soon to find out. Arm I believe is native VliW Imagiation is VLIW native . ATI is native VLIC Ect. ECT . ECT. So intel larrabee should beable to run all those as native VLIC . Most use C++ as programing language .

This is going to be good . Lets get the first round started all ready.
