Performance Increases
This graph shows the average speed up of the CULA Basic functions* when compared to the latest reference implementation of LAPACK available from Netlib. All benchmarks were obtained using a 64-bit version of Windows Vista running on a state of the art machine containing an Intel Core i7 920 CPU, 6 GB of DDR3 RAM, and an NVIDIA Tesla C1060 using large matrix sizes (N=10000). These speed calculations include the data transfer time to and from the GPU.
