In summary, Intel knows that moving to powerful, floating point rich parallel architectures is the future – in so doing they will inevitably encourage more developers to develop on GPUs as they too will see this move from Intel as a major industry shift and will want to target the hardware where their software has the greatest chance of success. NVIDIA will have shipped over 150 million CUDA capable parallel processors by the time Larrabee ships and Intel knows they will hurt their CPU business by making this transition, but this is truly the era of visual computing and this shift is a necessary move.
結論:free lunch is over。
你該想個新方法讓你的code跑得更快,但是要在什麼架構上跑什麼東西不是重點,重點只是大家在搶這個商機而已。
