Hi, could you please advise if you are working on making simulations in Houdini computed fully by GPU or something like 10% CPU and 90% GPU? Working only on CPU is very very slow (OpenCL support is not helping much). It would be great if you could add also GPU based renderer.

There is no full computing on the GPU. When you enable OpenCL you can expect about a 30% increase in speed. At least that is about what I experience.

There are a couple of GPU render systems for Houdini, you have to buy them and own a Houdini Indie license or better. Check out Octane or Redshift.

Its not worth it… only gain as much for the price of the hardware..
also not all features is supported…

That was question to sidefx employees. I know that there is no possibility to run simulations on GPU at the moment. I know also about Octane and Redshift, but maybe sidefx is working on in-built GPU renderer?
