I’ve noticed the extension “solver for nonlinear programming 0.9” (from the document foundation) puts a high load on my CPU(and only one core at a time, 8-core 3.5Ghz). I’m using Linux, CentOS-7 GNOME3.14.2 kernel 3.10.0-327.18.2.el7.x86_64
I know Calc gained some openCL support a few years ago but I can’t determine if the nonlinear solver is using GPU support. I’m not a developer but it seems at a glance that the evolutionary swarm concept would be a great fit for GPU parallelism, and I have this fancy AMD w7000 idling away. (got it for a CAD project that I no longer use.)
So to summarize can any of the solvers use the GPU, if so how do I turn on this feature, if not is GPU support somewhere in the “features to add” list?
