I'm looking at new laptops, and one of the specs that many of them have (at least those that use NVIDIA graphics hardware) is "Number of CUDA cores."

Does that matter for MAX/MSP/Jitter purposes? Or is CUDA a vendor-specific feature that C74 therefore avoids?

I'm not planning on writing low-level extensions any time soon.

The CUDA api is specific to NVidia. I believe Jitter gives you the ability to

write pixel shaders but it does not use the CUDA api. You would most likely

need to create your own external to take advantage of CUDA features.
