      My take-home message from a recent NVIDEA presentation in our lab
      was that number of floating-point processors within the GPUs is
      shifting towards 16bit FPUs at the cost of reducing (or
      maintaining) the number of 64bit FPUs .  As a general trend, this
      means a shift towards faster graphic processing rather than
      towards faster scientific processing. Indeed in the quick search
      on benchmarks I just did, I only saw ~30% improvement mentioned
      with respect games that I have never even heard of. Thus keep your
      scientific processing expectations under control!<br>
      <br>
      My two cents,<br>
