[Rcpp-devel] Rcpp and CUDA

[Peter Aberline]

Hi,

My first posting to the group!

>>Does anybody know where I might find an example of using CUDA with Rcpp?
>>I've looked around the internet a bit (and on this list), but have yet to find too much.  I saw some discussion on optimizing a 2d convolution, but only references to the possibility of using CUDA.  I've also been using Dirk's OpenMP example in Rcpp/examples.

The Armadillo library allows you to slot in BLAS implementations. I've been wondering whether it would be possible to use NVIDIA's CuBLAS library, which is a BLAS implementation using CUDA. Would it then be possible to use RcppArmadillo to move data in and out of R?

I've also developed some examples of using RInside/Rcpp with ZeroMQ, which allows parallel distributed computation, which may interest you. I've promised these to Dirk. (Dirk I'll email you the code off list today).

cheers,
Peter.

Hi all,


I'm trying to gauge how hard this would be before I spend too much time down this route.  My objects that need to be shared may be too large for this approach.

Any advice greatly appreciated.
Chris
