Has anyone looked at The RapidMind Development Platform? They have created
a C++ library that allows programmers to write C++ code that runs on a GPU.
It's also being extended to take advantage of multi-cores as well. I've
been browsing the docs. It seems about as clean as it gets for a C++
library that provides such an exotic capability. They seem to keep
everything very high level, and they have different backends. Currently
they support IBM's Cell processor and GLSL. To me, this is an ideal kind of
design for something like this. Kudos to them.
As nice as this library seems, I'm sure a D implementation could be much
better. Anyway, I really think that this is a very, very important arena to
pursue for D.
