[Baypiggies] PyCuda - using video card hardware for parallel computation

[Seth Friedman]

This is really neat.   I've got a CUDA-capable nvidia card I'm thinking I
want to write a python program to answer the following question: what/where
is the effect of the GIL when programming 240/480/720 1.3ghz cores?   It
seems like this question must have been conquered to some degree, at
least.   Is this simply a non issue because there isn't any python
"interpreting" happening in parallel, that it's translated in serial
(assuming single-threaded/single-process python doing the farming to the
GPUs) ..?
