OK. Am I missing something? We are talking about increased processing
power and utilizing the processors on all devices within a system in
parallel to accelerate programs that need to crunch lots of code and
the only thing we're talking about is hacking? <br>
<br>
How about improved identification of facial features in streaming
video? Or, maybe tracking moving objects in real time with an improved
rate of accuracy?<br>
How about comparison and synchronization of data across servers for
health care professionals? Or, drug interaction evaluations in a more
timely manner?<br>
Are these just too simple for this conversation?<br>
<br>
Forgive my blasphemous tone. You are all well above my knowledge in
computers (and more). I am just interested in hearing about other
applications. Including some hidden agenda items I would like to
develop someday.<br>

<- GPU is _MUCH_ faster.<br>
<br>
I don't know if its "popular" yet but.. it sure is cool and I hope for<br>
more open source tools for utilizing your GPU's vector tweaked mhz.<br>

I posed this question to an irc buddy up in Toronto who has done work
with cog. sci., and he<br>
pointed me to a Google tech talk given by one of his professors at the
U. of Toronto...<br>

"The Next Generation of Neural Networks"<br>
<br>
The document classification experiments are pretty amazing...maybe
these types of neural nets would work well for spam classification?<br>
And could learning be speeded-up (and more RBM layers added) with the
use of CUDA?<br>
<br>
( I asked said irc buddy, who says "Bayes is good enough". But: I
wonder? )<br>
