1) Message boards : Number crunching : Why doesn\'t LHC@home use CUDA? (Message 20668)

Post:
In case you may not know, CUDA is NVIDIA\'s SDK environment for allowing applications such as LHC@HOME to use the GPU to process chunks of data. The performance gains can be up to 100 times faster than using a CPU.

Folding@home (not a boinc project) uses it, and Seti@home is working on a beta version (it may have already been released).

Boinc also supports CUDA now as well.
