I'm pretty sure Matlab has a toolbox that utilises the GPU as well as other scientific based software, especially for molecular modelling and bioinformatics. I also remember reading that some anti-virus software had started making use of the GPU to speed things up. |
All I'm seeing about the antivirus is claims about speedup. Do you have a download link or purchase link?
Re: Matlab, what they have is the same as the AMD driver: tools that allow you to speed up code that YOU write. You have to do the coding yourself, and that is the hard part that I'm saying won't happen. Any commercial software use that Matlab toolkit?
I know some Physics PhDs in the lab I go to lectures in use GPGPU, but they use it on one-off simulations that only run on their lab computer, and they have to be PhDs to even design and operate it (and it takes the length of a PhD to do so). That's not practical.
