Adobe: The GPU is not a universal app accelerator

TG Daily has had a talk with John Nack & Russell Williams of Adobe Photoshop’s product team about the possibilities for GPGPU acceleration in their applications. Photoshop was one of the first products to implement GPGPU acceleration in a few key areas, and while users are hoping for more, Adobe is very careful to commit to any new features.

They have a great discussion of the power and limitations of GPGPU acceleration and how it won’t be the end-all panacea to improving computer performance.
