Javascript on the GPU (ajaxian.com)

Too bad this doesn't actually run JavaScript on the GPU.


This gives computational access of the GPU to JavaScript.

See: http://groups.google.com/group/jetpack-to-cuda/?pli=1


Even that is a very generous description. The guy hand-coded a lot of boilerplate to expose one CUDA kernel to JavaScript.


It would be frickin' awesome if GPU access became standard for Javascript through a standard API (OpenCL?). A COMPLETE Flash-killer.
