Graphics as an audio processor?

The company Bionic FX has announced a program through which it will be possible for the audio processing computing power of graphics processors (initially only available from Nvidia GPUs) as second processor to use. Modern graphics calculators have a capacity of up to 40 GFlops, modern CPUs on the other hand, only the 6 GFlops. Although the AGP bus still represents a bottleneck for the sending back of the calculated data from the graphics chip to the computer (usually, these data are otherwise displayed on the monitor) will be significant performance improvements in VST compatible programs like Cubase or Ableton Live to achieve his. Only PCI Express will eliminate this bottleneck. The developer James Cann is the end of October as the first application BionicReverb in the form of a public beta version available - then anyone can check how much performance gain of the graphics processor brings. Those who are interested in what kind of "foreign expert" stuff with the graphics CPU can be employed should be GPGPU look - here are a whole series of general computer programs are presented to the GPU as a second CPU use.  more infos at bei www.tomshardware.com deutsche Version dieser Seite: Grafikchip als Audioprozessor?
