1) Message boards : News : New Poll Regarding GPU Application of N-Body (Message 71044) Posted 2 Aug 2021 by Wee Todd Didd Post: Wondering this as well. Could not find any recent N-Body in my results to look at to see if there was a verification of results. Current GPU's uses 2x the power of a CPU, So a GPU version with verification, would have to be 4x as fast at minimum to break even power consumption wise. quote]When you say it's not much faster than a CPU, do you mean single-core CPU vs single GPU? Or do you mean an 8 or 12 thread CPU vs a 512 CUDA Core GPU? Because N-Body can scale itself to multiple threads, and I image the CPU also uses all CUDA cores on a GPU....[/quote]
