Yet again I'm breaking records for publication frequency at RWT : )
This time it's an article on Fermi, Nvidia's 3rd generation of programmable GPUs:
http://www.realworldtech.com/page.cfm?ArticleID=RWT093009110932
Fermi is clearly targeted for the HPC world and has left behind many of the more goofy elements of GPU architecture and is looking a bit more like a CPU in many regards.
Deeper analysis will have to wait until real products are announced and available, but it's nonetheless an interesting look at Nvidia's efforts to push GPU computing forward.
