The project I choose for completion of my undergrad degree in physics
Hi folks. I thought I would put this up for anybody interested. I performed evaluation of a partition function related to molecular magnets using the 5850 under OpenCL (Stream SDK 2.0), and compared the results to running the same code on the CPU, and a similar serial implementation using the GNU Scientific Library (GSL). I think the results speak for themselves - the 5850 wins hands down! Hope somebody finds this useful. I will eventually get around to testing this on other systems and devices, and update it to suit the newever releases of the SDK.
