So while looking at some of the cool new things the latest NVIDIA drivers do for Compiz performance in Linux, I got caught up in the CUDA documentation.

With pyrit, on my lowly 8600 GTS I am seeing a 3X throughput increase over my Dual Core 3GHz CPU.

Computed 2592.26 PMKs/s total.
#1: ‘CUDA-Device #1 ‘GeForce 8600 GTS”: 1880.0 PMKs/s (Occ. 99.9%; RTT 2.9)
#2: ‘CPU-Core (SSE2)’: 738.8 PMKs/s (Occ. 96.6%; RTT 2.2)
