GPU computing with akka

[Oscar Picasso]

Hi,

Would parallel computing with Akka on a GPU like Tesla be something
possible / beneficial in a not too far future?
I guess it would depend on the Scala team work on cuda.

Any thoughts?

I have been thinking of building support for that for long time. But
it is just never enough high prio. If someone wanted to take a shot at
it it would be awesome. I think it could make total sense.

Have you seen ScalaCL?

I think it also makes a lot of sense.

Although programming gpu's is not the same as programming a general purpose cpu.

ps:
There is a Java binding for CUDA: http://www.jcuda.org/

Yeah, but not tried it. Have you?

cool. will check that out.

not yet.. btw, Larrabee was the project at Intel I was talking about earlier.

A long time ago we had this discussion and it was rattling around in my head on and off ever since.  I was able to scratch together a few nights and mornings recently and start something.  Anyway, I have no idea if I'll be able to give this dedicated attention but figured I'd share it in the event there was interest... It definitely falls in the quick and dirty category - browse and your own risk.

 That sounds very cool. I'm really interested to see what comes out of this. I hope you get the time to complete it

Hi Guys:

Are you still working on the GPU support for Akka?  

I think it will be very useful if Akka can support GPU computing now. We can see how hot the deep learning is recently and it also shows that GPU indeed outperforms CPU in terms of these kind of simple but massive computing for the SGD-like algorithms which are widely used.

I am very interested in this project. Do you have any updates on this kind of project (e.g., https://github.com/buka/kula)? 

I plan to explore this direction and try to develop a prototype based on this project even it seems that nobody maintain it for a long time -_-.

Hi Zhaoije,

No we are not working on anything like that, and the project mentioned does not seem to have been touched in the last 5 years.

If there are JVM libraries that can do GPU processing there is nothing stopping you from using it from actors/Akka though.

Dear Johan:

Thanks for your reply.

Does Akka team have any plans to support GPU?
