Is it possible to accelerate (dynamic) LINQ queries using GPU?

Question

I have been searching for some days for solid information on the possibility to accelerate LINQ queries using a GPU.

Technologies I have \"investigated\" so far:

Answer 1

I will answer definitively about Brahma since it's my library, but it probably applies to other approaches as well. The GPU has no knowledge of objects. It's memory is also mostly completely separate from CPU memory.

If you do have a LARGE set of objects and want to operate on them, you can only pack the data you want to operate on into a buffer suitable for the GPU/API you're using and send it off to be processed.

Note that this will make two round trips over the CPU-GPU memory interface, so if you aren't doing enough work on the GPU to make it worthwhile, you'll be slower than if you simply used the CPU in the first place (like the sample above).

Hope this helps.
