Using gpu for calculation in a basic format

Got an idea for enhancing PureBasic? New command(s) you'd like to see?

Intel and nVidia have libraries, so perhaps it's already possible?

If it sounds simple, you have not grasped the complexity.

I'll throw money at you if you make it part of the core libraries, and I will also cover you with kisses. A good part of the attractiveness of PB is the rich set of libraries out of the box.

This one is very specific and we would probably have to wrap all the commands to allow enough flexibility, so I don't think it will happen. OpenCL is already crossplateform and not that hard to use, just check the sample file.

Kruno: In other words, make him an offer he can't refuse. ;)
Microsoft Visual Basic only lasted 7 short years: 1991 to 1998.
PureBasic: Born in 1998 and still going strong to this very day!
