I will be collecting Bayer Pattern images from firewire cameras on an openSUSE 12.1 system. These systems have Nvidia GT520 (ASUS) graphics cards, and 1 GB of DDR3 memory.
I am curious if anyone has used used the nvidia compiler to run code in the GPU on such a system. I have seen info (such as http://visionexperts.blogspot.com/2010/06/gpu-5x5-bayer-conversion.html) that is interesting.
Is the nvidia app that I have seen floating about for openSUSE the tool for doing this sort of thing? I would like to show the resulting image in the application (in an X widget), as well as encode it to a disk file. Any openSUSE-specific pointers are welcome.
Yours sincerely,

I did at some point investigate it quite seriously, but gave it up in the end. Unless you _really_ need the speed that comes from running on the GPUs, I find that the added complexity and re-working of the problem is too much effort compared to just running the regular code on regular CPUs.
