Hello,

I stumbled across an article in a computer magazine about GPGPU programming where they were talking about a video-interface that works on multiple graphic cards (nVidia and AMD, but also Intels' Larrabee, Sony's Cell-processor).

It looked pretty good to me, especially since I'm working on a plug-in that could use GPGPU programming.

After some research about the interface, I thought I had to install an SDK directly from the nVidia website (For AMD graphic card owners this would ofcourse be the AMD website). But nVidia asks all this personal information now and I'm hesitant. Is it really worth it?

Can I have your thoughts on this?
Cheers!

The nVidia website I think you can get the SDK from: http://www.nvidia.com/object/cuda_opencl.html
The openCL website: http://www.khronos.org/opencl/

For those that stumble upon this thread:
As of 28 September 2009, nVidia released the drivers and SDK without having to apply for NVIDIA's GPU Computing Registered Developer Program. You can now download the drivers and SDK on the nVidia website I mentioned.
