Hi folks,
I'm happy to announce, we have finally tamed parallel computing technology on GPU and re-invented ECC correction process!
For a starter, we have added a single-GPU usage for ECC/BCH correction into VNR 4.0 software update.
Our tests show that it's possible to achieve 8-10x time decrease (performance increase?) for ECC correction now, especially on longer ECC codes (short ones are easy for GPU to compute so most of the time it's I/O of VRAM - SSD that consumes time).
Haven't tested it on RTX30xx yet though, hope will do soon (but I can project ~30x increase on those cards).
Check HERE for mode details.
My personal feedback (or feelings?)
Honestly, I personally feel like a huge relief after years of pain....when I tested it first time on a decent GPU, I got shocked (and I've seen a lot during my RnD years!) and had a very stupid smile on my face. One problem less...
For non-gamers/non-miners:
Even built-in GPU like in Core i7 can make job done 25-35% faster without any additional investment.
For gamers/miners:
Yeeah...!! Now you got a legit excuse to buy a decent graphic card and your second half can wait with the new outfit/bag/gym club card/whatever it is!
We'll keep on advancing and moving more functions to GPU. Have fun!
