RapidMind Software
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++
- 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.
- Active developer support
- Integrated compiler for GPU works almost without problem.
