It looks promising.
Hopefully it will wake up someone in Mathworks.
We don't want 3rd party solutions.
We want the real thing - Open CL support within Matlab.

Just to think about blockproc utilizing GPU.

I've heard that Mathworks are put off GPGPU because it only handles single-precision. However, Jacket, the above-mentioned 3rd party enhancement, now states a new feature: "Double precision linear algebra enhancements will help a larger user base that has double precision requirements." Come on Mathworks!

And it's not just the GPGPU... 3-D plots in Matlab are dog slow and look awful on screen. Check out what Jacket can do in this regard:
