I can say that the Accelerator team is still alive. I frequently send them bug reports :p<BR>Truth is, Accelerator by now is far from being a potential concurrent for other GPGPU libraries such as CUDA.<BR>Accelerator now just provides access to the ParallelArrays lib which just provide basic operations on arrays, and delayed computation. For basic operations it's great. But when you want to work on advanced GPGPU projects, it's not enough... You don't have enough control on what you're actually programming. While using Accelerator you actually have no idea of what's going on the GPU. I hope the next version will provide more low-level control.http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/Charles/Parallel-Computing-Platform-Overview-and-Future-Directions/?CommentID=433416Thu, 16 Oct 2008 04:55:25 GMThttp://channel9.msdn.com/posts/Charles/Parallel-Computing-Platform-Overview-and-Future-Directions/?CommentID=4334160http://channel9.msdn.com/433416/WebViewBug.aspx?EVT=0Well...

Certainly not what I meant to say given the importance of parallelism for all developers going forward, especially main stream (general purpose) developers...

Maybe?<BR><BR>Since we keep hearing about how the teams working on parallelism are testing things out on massive many-core machines, can we have another video about the testing labs? There was a cool one back during the Vista beta cycle, and it would be neat to talk about what kind of massive hardware these frameworks are being tested against. It's nothing important, just a "cool factor" thing since a 26 core machine is way beyond the budget of most of us...combined. :)http://channel9.msdn.com/posts/Charles/Parallel-Computing-Platform-Overview-and-Future-Directions/?CommentID=432827Tue, 14 Oct 2008 04:33:41 GMThttp://channel9.msdn.com/posts/Charles/Parallel-Computing-Platform-Overview-and-Future-Directions/?CommentID=4328270http://channel9.msdn.com/432827/WebViewBug.aspx?EVT=0Most likely some kind of blade system?
