Big problem for architect or 3d freelance is Time !

The render time in crucial for them.
So..
Maxwellrender utilize GP GPU?
If not why?
I'll see computation with this is like turbo. I'll see C++ lib for compile software. Not simple I know , but I think, is very very important .
Is possible to see Maxwell with GP GPU utilize.
If reduce (10X or more) the render time Maxwell, architect or 3d freelance can utilize Maxwell in their pipeline.

Sorry for my bad english
Ciao a tutti

Maxwell is not using any GPU for it's calculations now, and i have doubts it'll be doing that in the future. But sure thing it would be very good if Maxwell used the GPU's raw power for rendering.

Follow this link you see the power of gp gpu

http://graphics.cs.ucf.edu/caustics/ and see videos

GPU rendering... ATI and NVIDIA are both putting time into it... Gelato is NVIDIAs GPU based 3d rendering system... and ATI is coming up with a video compression utility that uses the GPU.... I pray and hope for one day both these companies allow for a standard system where a renderer like MaxWell or any other app. can just connect to the GPU and tell it what to render... reason for my interest in companies using the GPU: 1 updates way faster... the video cards come out much faster then new processors do... 2 we talking about pure power... about 6 times more then a CPU... if I got my numbers right... MaxWell running 6 times faster... I don’t know what else would any person want..

that would use up our licenses even faster, 1 for CPU, 1 for GPU.. eek

One of the solutions could be to introduce a plugin (specific for NVIDIA or ATI) that through the network it approaches calculation in GP GPU, rather than to integrate it to the core of the application.

Sh is a library that acts as a language embedded in C++, allowing you to program GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) and CPUs for graphical and general-purpose computations in novel ways. For more information about Sh, see the About Section or read the FAQ.

not to mention running 4 cards pcie quad-sli.

I hope the programmers at nextlimit are reading up on development for these and similer proccesors (i.e. cell)
would anyone at nextlimit comment, after RC
