Message boards : Number crunching : Nvidia GPU tasks versus CPU tasks

Post:
Asteroids tasks are around 10 times faster on a reasonable GPU than a single CPU core


Reasonable meaning NOT an integrated GPU, apparently. Ran a test recently to test times of a single CPU thread vs the iGPU on the chip and found the CPU was about 7x faster. Have yet to receive any Nvidia tasks for my discrete GPU.

I can't offer any help for the long-running tasks, but I can verify that many tasks complete much faster. I just completed my first several ARM tasks on an Android phone in under 20 hours each.
