<P>Styles with a <I>cuda</I>, <I>gpu</I>, <I>omp</I>, or <I>opt</I> suffix are functionally

the same as the corresponding style without the suffix. They have
|
|
|
|
|
been optimized to run faster, depending on your available hardware,

as discussed in <A HREF = "Section_accelerate.html">this section</A> of the manual.
|
2011-08-24 05:11:24 +08:00

same results, except for round-off and precision issues.
