The last talk...

Eric Sessoms talked about hardware accelaration for astronomical data analysis. He compared the performance of your GPU to the main CPU of your machine. Typically the performance of a commodity graphics card exceeds by a factor of 3 that of your CPU.

More information about using GPUs for general purpose computation is available at the gpgpu.org site.
