Hi Oyvind, I believe this is possible to implement. There is already some work ongoing in using the GPU in R and they use the CUDA toolkit as the reference you supplied do. http://brainarray.mbni.med.umich.edu/Brainarray/rgpgpu/ Thanks, Rob On 18 May 2011, at 10:07, oyvfos wrote: > Dear all

Dear all, Probably many of you experience long computation times when estimating large number of parameters using maximum likelihood with functions that reguire numerical methods such as integration or root-finding. Maximum likelihood is an example of paralellization that could sucessfully utilize
