node9 A SIMD Interpreter for Genetic Programming on Graphics Cards
RapidMind Software
- Grew out of Sh meta-programming (Waterloo)
- Not source compatible with Sh
but very similar concepts.
- High level, C++ very heavy use of templates
- Compatible with free GNU C++ (GCC)
- Templates/GDB on occasion produce huge incomprehensible error
messages leading to a difficult learning path.
- Very active, new releases, targeting new hardware.
Suggests RapidMind will be a viable option in the future as well as
now.
- Still feels like beta release.
18 bugs/gotchas reported.
- Integrated compiler for GPU works almost without problem.
