Matlab Integrates GPU Support For UberMath Computation 89
An anonymous reader writes "Matlab now comes with GPU native support in the 2010b version. This means loads of Matlab commands can be parallelized onto the GPU without having to re-code things in C++ or Fortran using CUDA. Pretty sweet for the HPC community."

Note the "R2010b" version number. That means that this capability has been out since the second half of 2010.

Now we have a vendor of an overpriced add-on battling it out with the vendor of the mother of all overpriced and badly designed pieces of scientific software. As someone who actually uses numerical scripting languages, let me tell you: I'm not impressed.
My guess is that within a year or two, there will be better open-source alternatives to Jacket, just like there are better open source alternatives to MATLAB alrady. I'll just wait, thank you very much.
