GPU CUDA/OPENCL for API in Revit.

Anonymous

I am trying to find a way to allow API written for Revit to be able to use CUDA/OpenCL to perform sets of calculations.  Currently i have this API that works but it's writting for multi-thread CPU.  I just want to see if i can improve the process time more if I can somehow use GPU to do calculation work in lieu of CPU.

Dear Tak Au,

 

Sure you can.

 

The Revit API access must originate in the main thread, but you can use as many other parallel threads as you like for other operation.

 

Best regards,

 

Jeremy

Any chance you would share the API for CPU? I just dropped two xeon phi's into my workstation and am working to leverage them for AEC applications.
