New Year Resolution: GPU and Cloud

Chinese New Year is the coming. My new year resolution is to get myself dive into the GPU and Cloud with F#. This post is to list some general information for somebody interested to get started. I will constantly update this page. Hopefully can save you a few seconds when doing google search. :)

As my background is mainly on GPU and my first application was using F# on graphics models five years ago, so GPU is my natural expansion. The following list are some interesting GPGPU sites.

• GPGPU: http://gpgpu.org/
• GPGPU from nVidia: http://www.nvidia.com/object/GPU_Computing.html
• OpenCL from nVidia:  http://developer.nvidia.com/opencl
• GPGPU tutorial I like: http://www.mathematik.uni-dortmund.de/~goeddeke/gpgpu/tutorial.html

Cloud is a new concept and is also new to me. I am more interested in MapReduce and its usage with F#. Also  I am always interested to learn some new programming model other than google's mapReduce model. 

• Hadoop and F#: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/carlnol/archive/2011/12/16/hadoop-streaming-and-f-mapreduce.aspx
• MapReduce and F#:  http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/gg983490.aspx and  http://weblogs.asp.net/podwysocki/archive/2009/03/03/exploring-mapreduce-with-f.aspx

More sample code is coming with powerful F#, stay tune.. :-)
