    Hello people, to fellow gamers AND programmers, I am really interested in finally utilizing these CUDA cores for computation, has anyone experimented with this before? instead of 8 workstations, is it practically possible to work with 400 workstations :D I really want to see where we can go with this GPU computing business :)

    I think the licensing cost for GPU computing grows a lot if you want more than a handful of workstations and matlab.

    However, it is certainly possible to distribute matlab gpu code out in parallel to hundreds of computers.

    I think I should have the proper license (university license), can you point me to a good tutorial for GPU computing? seriously want to (and need to) get into this thing :)

    Mathworks actually has crappy GPU support. But Jacket by Accelereyes is really good. Check it out here: Jacket versus PCT - AccelerEyes

    Also, there are tons of Jacket tutorials on that site.
