The ThreadPool is fine for little dips, but this is the year to dive head
first into the GPGPU - the General Purpose Graphics Processing Unit. In
this talk we will be solving the traveling salesman problem by brute force.
That is, we will compute the length of every possible route connecting a
series of cities - to find the shortest one. We will do this entirely in
Visual Studio C# using three techniques: single-threaded CPU,
multi-threaded CPU, and the massively parallel GPGPU. We will spend most of
the time learning how to use NVidia's CUDA with HybridDSP's Cudafy. After
attending this talk you will see the universe as a massively parallel
phenomenon that is ripe for you to model it.****
