GPU coprocessors are going to go mainstream as adjuncts to CPUs
in workstations and servers, the programming has to get easier
and developers have to be able to exploit the languages,
libraries, and development tools they have traditionally been
using to create applications for PCs and servers.  With the
launch of the CUDA 3.1 development kit and the Parallel Nsight
plug-in for Microsoft's Visual Studio IDE, Nvidia is several
steps closer to splashing in that mainstream.  While the CUDA
3.1 software development kit, which you can get here, was
announced today alongside the Parallel Nsight plug-in, Ian Buck,
software director for GPUs at Nvidia, says the code has actually
