Hello, everyone!
Please tell me what technologies GPGPU exist already and which hardwares vendor's implement GPGPU?
I've been reading articles on various sites from morning and I've become confused.
A:
AMD-ATI allows you to harness the power of GPU using a language based on Brook+.
And nVidia provides CUDA.

Do you known something about Intel implementetion of GPGPU in Larrabee?

Ya..I heard about it few years back that Intel is going to come up with Larrabee (hybrid between CPU and GPU). Not sure if they ever actually came out with that project (http://www.electronista.com/articles/10/09/20/larrabee.graphics.impractical.hungry.says.intel/)

Larrabee is dead BTW.

@Matias - not completely, although it looks like there won't be a 'Larrabee' product per-se. But this past summer Intel announced 'Knight's Ferry' and 'Aubrey Isle', which appear to be the current follow-up projects using some of Larrabee's ideas.

A:
Brook and CUDA are proprietary technologies. And OpenCL is industry standard, now supported by ATI and NVIDIA. ATI even provides CPU-based implementation.

A:
I've found that Intel is going to create architecture with name Intel Larrabee and VIA declared about creating VIA Trinity , both of which can be use in future for GPGPU and can be as competitor for nVidia CUDA and ATI Stream.
