[Interest] Utilizing the GPU, how to start?

[John C. Turnbull]

Thanks. I never thought of using Google ;-)

Sadly Google shows me what *they* want me to see, not necessarily what I am actually looking for.

Hence asking the question here: amongst a group of Qt experts who are not controlled by revenue-generating curating algorithms and who could point me to the most appropriate articles for my questions.

Thanks for the links. I will check them out and hopefully they will give me the info I seek.
