C#: Perform Operations on GPU, not CPU (Calculate Pi) [closed]

Answer 1

You can access the latest Direct3D APIs from .NET using the Windows API Code Pack. Direct3D 11 comes with Compute Shaders. These are roughly comparable to CUDA, but work also on non-NVIDIA GPUs.

Note that Managed DirectX and XNA are limited to the Direct3D 9 feature set, which is somewhat difficult to use for GPGPU.

Answer 2

CUDA.NET should be exactly what you're looking for, and it seems to support your specific graphics card.

Answer 3

Another option that hasn't been mentioned for GPU calculation from C# is Brahma.

Brahma provides a LINQ-based abstraction for GPU calculations - it's basically LINQ to GPU. It works over OpenGL and DirectX without extra libraries (but requires SM3). Some of the samples are fairly amazing.

Answer 4

It's a very new technology, but you might investigate CUDA. Since your question is tagged with C#, here is a .Net wrapper.

As a bonus, it appears that your 8800 GTX supports CUDA.

You're probably looking for Accelerator, but if you are interested in game development in general I'll suggest you take a look at XNA
