Hi All I am new to using Boost libraries. I have written a function that makes use of the boost for computing the inverse of the cummulative distribution function of the beta distribution (quantile) in C++ which works fine. Now I would like to use the same function on the GPU, but I cannot call a host function from device. Are there any alternatives to use boost functions on GPU? Looking forward to your reply. Many thanks and kind regards Blesson

Visual Studio 2012 has a non-standard extension (although they hope to have it standardized) that lets you run C++ code on the GPU.

If my memory is correct, someone proposed Boost.Compute which would be an abstraction layer over OpenCL. Not sure it fits the need here but it might be worth taking a look. Joel Lamotte
Thank you very much for the pointers. Kind regards Blesson On Tue, Apr 16, 2013 at 7:40 PM, Klaim - Joël Lamotte <mjklaim@gmail.com>wrote:

Kyle Lutz is working on a GPGPU library, boost compute. I believe it is still in early development, so I'm not sure you'll find all you're looking for. Details are here: http://kylelutz.github.io/compute/
