Rootbeer GPU Compiler Lets Almost Any Java Code Run On the GPU

Posted by timothy on Saturday August 11, 2012 @03:20PM from the also-it's-delicious dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Today the source code to the Rootbeer GPU Compiler was released as open source on github. This work allows for a developer to use almost any Java code on the GPU. It is free, open source and highly tested. Rootbeer is the most full featured translator to convert Java Bytecode to CUDA. It allows arbitrary graphs of objects to be serialized to the GPU and the GPU kernel to be written in Java." Rootbeer is the work of Syracuse University instructor Phil Pratt-Szeliga.

There are no bad students, only bad teachers.
Trust me, there's plenty of bad students. They're only in class to collect their "No Worker Left Behind" check. Thankfully that program has run its course.
Lemme fix that saying: No one becomes a bad student without, at some point, having a bad teacher.
(Note: both my parents are teachers)
