■OpenCL Library for Ruby "Barracuda"　

　Barracuda: An OpenCL Library for Ruby

Barracuda is my latest experiment. I wanted to toy around with the new features of Snow Leopard, and as far as I’ve seen, there are no CUDA or OpenCL wrapper libraries out there for Ruby.

You can install Barracuda if you’re on OSX 10.6 (Snow Leopard) or have a way to get OpenCL on your machine and hack up the Makefiles. I’d like to add support for other environments but I just finished this build.

If you have the right stuff you can grab it right from rubyforge:

sudo gem install barracuda

Or visit the git repo:
