Hi all, It sounds like CUDA is not ideal for GIMP, but individuals on this list might be personally interested in it (it is free, just not OSS, might be good for plugin devel). I pushed my code into a git repo: http://github.com/etotheipi/CUDA_Image_Convolution Keep in mind that the state of the code is very immature in structure, but the algorithms are solid and work very fast if you have a CUDA-enabled graphics card. The readme has a lot of useful information Some timings: Basic convolution, erosion or dilation (on NVIDIA GTX 460): 4096x4096 image with 15x15 PSF/SE: 125 ms compute time ( 8 Hz) 4096x4096 image with 3x3 PSF/SE: 20 ms compute time ( 50 Hz) 2048x2048 image with 5x5 PSF/SE: 7.5 ms compute time ( 130 Hz) 512x512 image with 3x3 PSF/SE: 0.36 ms compute time (2750 Hz) These timings are without memory transfers, which is somewhere between 1 GB/s and 3 GB/s host<-->device. Keep in mind that the code operates only on floats (which I need for my application), but it could be significantly faster if modified to work on 8-bit integers and batch memory operations in 128-bit chunks. Maybe one day... Let me know if you have any interest developing or simply using this code.
