Hello,

Scilab has a toolbox which provides some functions to compute a kernel
on the GPU.
To use this toolbox, make sure that your GPU is an Nvidia card and has
double capability.
You need to compile the toolbox before use it.

Sources of toolbox sciGPGPU :

If you have any question dont hesitate to email me.

Regards,
