[Chicago] Using Graphics Processing Cards for Math Calculations

[Joe Baker]

I've been reading quite allot lately about using GPU's for performing 
high end mathematics computations.

GPUs are about 10 times faster at moving memory and can perform 10 times 
more math problems in parallel than CPUs can. So for the right 
application this could mean a 100 fold increase in computational throughput.

Does anybody know of any Python modules which take advantage of GPU 
devices from Nvidia or ATI?

Thanks!
