Bug ID: 64457
Summary: NVCC like features CUDA/OpenCL support for GCC to use
GPU's to speed up compile jobs.
Product: gcc
Version: unknown
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P3
Component: c
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: mike at michaellawrenceit dot com
WISH list: add use of GPU for GCC ,
Big beefy GPU Black/TESLA , etc, (Dream of winning the lotto too to pay for
em too lol)
add ability to use OpenCL or CUDA to run GCC on GPU cores , for IE Kernel
compiles , Larger Jobs. (or have cuda/openCL like features built in that can
use such GPU's)
gen2 I-7 16 Gigs of ram, atm its quite slow as hell .... ADD in GPU might
speed it up, Linux Kernel modules , if CUDA many Linux modules could be done
on GPU in dynamic parallels 30-60 minuets to compile now however GPU support
might speed up greatly.
GPU as CO-CPU's ?
swap to console , LET GCC consume most of the GPU , to help Boost compile
jobs.... =E2=80=8B
Granted I like Games and MMO's but I do IT-Sec research , and many
applications that use GPU
IE pyrit or other Key crackers on CPU ......................
One my know WEP is junk for security , Back when working on BS it took
30-60 mins to break the keys, but the comic book store has WEP on its
wifi...... I don't take or publish they key but it's a good benchmark for
pyrit etc version updates , TIME: KEY , GPU I have the key again in often
30 seconds or Less. CPU it's going to be awhile.......
460 M (mobile) isn't the fastest GPU for a laptop these days, (336 CUDA
Cores )
*however putting them to work for GCC under Linux/Windows would be a
nicety... *
*for the AMD RADEON fan-boy types opencl etc... *
(https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-toolkit) CUDA *NVCC* Like functionality
for GCC built in as an optimization plugin IE like LLVM gold. etc.
Programing ? ha My dyslexic hide is more of an Architect , python basics
etc. however Run Gentoo or related boxes long enough, any speed ups in code
ie LLVM or runtime hacks you can get are appreciated. ( I see apps
in my head like Legos but cant build them to save my ass less its a basic
scripting.)
*Emerge -av gcc +cuda + opencl , YES PLEASE.... *
*O/S Sabayon With Spike repo (Gentoo) *
*Gentoo packages can take a While to build. however if native NVIDA-CUDA/
OpenCL (AMD etc) GPU/APU were built in compile times could fall quite
dramatically... *
