to run against gtx 280 graphics card, the performance improvement might be
increased 10x to 100 x faster. I have not done that code writing for this
test. But if someone on this dug list willing to pay me to write a c in
cuda code, I am willing to try. ;-)</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

say Delphi got advantage is just simply because Delphi using plain memory mode,
and most other C#, java adds some extra work load. To run against cuda code,
Delphi losing on memory access latency compare to gpu vast memory bandwidth in
the card. The more data volume size will show cuda will be better than any cpu
memory latency restricted code.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

Hald and others recently did a benchmark of a certain algorithm to figure out,
which was fastest. It evolved into a kind of competition to make the fastest
algorithm to solve this problem:Fill a data structure with 1,000,000 random,
unsorted values from 0-100 Run through this data structure 200 times, counting
a) number of values = 42 b) average for all 1,000,000*200 valuesThe benchmark
was run on a new T5800 Toshiba laptop running 32-bit Windows Vista. Nothing
had been done to the Vista to make it faster or behave in a special way.The
results were interesting, and our conclusions were:</SPAN></SPAN>
