Looking for a development community i would sponsor what i can. Client would be free for everyone of course.

I have been looking for some time now and it looks like, no one has one together or something in the right direction, i am looking to have on developed, i would be willing to sponsor a card if that is needed or access to a PC with a card installed, i don't know if there is something like a test environment for the card, or a SDK, emulator to test the code.

Please let me know what and who would be interested, if i need to make a website, i have a hosting company so the domain name and the hosting would be no problem.

Serious interested only, i don't want to develop something that doesn't work. So i will ask for some reference to be sure, if we could make that somehow a community project, maybe more develops from it...

please let me know if it has to be the GTS or GTX once as well.

Please send all interest here and leave a email i will be contacting you or if you don't like to post here email me at anton8@gmail.com.

Hope there is some interest.
Anton

Anton,

My recommendation for you is to contact Nvidia and get the CUDA SDK. Nvidia said they were going to make SDK available "to those whom it should go to".

If you can't get the SDK, we can't develop anything.

If you can get the SDK, see if it's for Linux or for Windows. Linux is an easier to manage in a multi-user development environment, esp since tools such as gcc and icc are free.

Mike

Waves hand :o)

(Linux only, though...)


I'd buy the required graphics card, no problem.

Regards Hans

To sign up for the CUDA SDK, go here:

http://developer.nvidia.com/page/registered_developer_program.html

As I stated in a different thread, I'd be willing to test at any stage of development.

That's rough. Does anyone have a company that will sign an NDA for them? It doesn't look like Nvidia will release CUDA for public good rather than for profit.

Please completely fill out the below application to apply for NVIDIA's CUDA Developer Relations Program. Incomplete forms cannot be processed.

To participate in this early access program you will need to have a current Mutual NDA agreement with NVIDIA.
If you do not have an NDA with NVIDIA and your application is accepted an NVIDIA Developer Relations person will contact you shortly and provide the NDA.

Anton,

Thanks for finding our the details and getting the SDK. Windows SDK does no good for me since I own no Windows compilers (gcc for cygwin does not count).

Guess I'll have to wait for Linux SDK to get involved. Other interested parties probably have these compilers, so it's probably not a problem.
