I’d say that’s quite an improvement. To say the least.<\/p>\n

The calculation in this case computed the self-gravitational forces in a cluster of 10,000 stars… it seems that the GPU can perform this computation at least 20 times a second. That’s quite remarkable.<\/p>\n<\/fb:like>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
