Is it worth having? The fuck software even uses it?

Yeah. People that have jobs. You wouldn’t know about it

A lot of scientific computing leverages it. Youtube some gtc videos to see. I went to gtc2016 and it was non-stop, the number of groups working on this stuff

Not really, OpenCL exists you know.

Yes. Software that isn't video games use it.

Like what? What useful non scientific desktop shit can cuda be used for, and why do anons act like it's a big deal when all they do is flick bean to BL all day?

>Software that isn't video games use it.
Video games literally use it though, Nvidia Memeworks.
How mong are you?

If you had to ask, it's not for you.

If you had no examples then posting wasn't for you, you twat.

It's not for you, kiddo.

CUDA is designed for massively parallel processing. It's used heavily in scientific computing for doing linear algebra and vectorization because of how it can efficiently and quickly process large matrices and vectors. It's not really for 'desktop' programs because usually regular desktop usage does not demand that sort of work load. It doesn't mean CUDA is useless though, it's pervasive in machine learning so that's why Jow Forums is so in love with it. You basically cannot do any deep learning without CUDA.

It speeds up rendering. Cut a third off my rendering time going from a 6850 to a 770 in After Effects.

So it's useless. Typical nvidiot can't justify their meme feature, so they pretend that everyone else is just too dumb to "get it".

>So it's useless
Wrong. It's not useful to you. It's not for the desktop, it's not for video games, it's barely for Windows. People who do real work such as CFD, FEA, or any other multiphysics simulations, use it extensively.

t. Someone who uses pyCUDA to do numerical optimization.

cuda is thousand times better than amd opencl

This was almost 5 years ago when I had an already 3 year old 2600K. Cutting a third off the render is big.

What's the performance hit from emulating CUDA on OpenCL anyway? How many programs only support CUDA rather than OpenCL nowadays?

Nobody on Jow Forums cares that you carry two laptops to the airport, lady.
Now tell me what apps use cuda without open CL support.

CUDA is used in machine learning and 3d rendering. That's all you need to know neetlet.

And when I say 3d-rendering I'm specifically talking about ray tracing applications.

>neetlet
That's not an insult on Jow Forums you pretend wagie.

Well, you can use it to create fake porn. That can be useful depending on who you ask.

Not supported or requires extra effort for work arounds with less performance for a ton of stuff
