Matlab Integrate GPU support in 2010b version

[Andy Nguyen]

Saw this on slashdot
"Matlab now comes with GPU native support in the 2010b version. This means loads of Matlab commands can be parallelized onto the GPU without having to re-code things in C++ or Fortran using CUDA. Pretty sweet for the HPC community."

The current available version is 2010a 2011a. There is no timeline when 2010b version is available for sale.

Actually, current Matlab version is 2011a, but indeed from version 2010b there is some sort of CUDA support. However, MathWorks guys are lagging significantly behind AccelerEyes guys in that regard - Jacket plugin by AccelerEyes has much broader scope, and faster implementation, regarding supporting off-loading Matlab calculations to GPU.

Yeap, I corrected the version. The "2010b" throws me off a bit.
