Fermi development on a laptop and the GTX 480M Experiences developing for Fermi on laptops

While not Fermi, I purchased an ASUS 1215N for mobile development about a month ago. It has both the intel and GT218 graphics, so you can dedicate the GPU to CUDA. $450, 6 hour battery life, 11 inch screen. A CUDA netbook with two GPUs. I have even gotten NSight to work on this. I believe compute capability is 1.2. I don’t use double precision (not sure which compute capability provides that), but I have had to do some preprocessor directives because I use __ballot and some other 2.0 functions in my code. It was just easy, so I am happy.

Compute capability 1.3 is where double precision was added. I don’t know if there were ever any CC 1.3 mobile devices, despite various suggestive model numbers.
