TW,

My uncle worked out of both Phoenixville and Somerville, I believe. He started there in the late 60's, and told me he started working on the 4 and 8 element CMOS chips around '68.

They grabbed him right out the US Army, literally. Since the first applications were for defense, and he just got back from Europe, that makes perfect sense.

If you PM me, I will give you the name.

BTW, CUDA is about using the 240+ stream processors, aka SPEs, within a standard video card as programmable units that can be programmed using C. You can gang up 3 of these cards in a standard PC using SLI and really crank out the numbers.

The second they have a SAS interface I have a customer who will buy 6 cards (three for him, and three for his developer).
