A friend of mine is playing with neural networks and training them to play reversi. He's working with a lot of matrices so he tried AVX extensions and CUDA. AVX runs circles around CUDA, probably because of the setup time of moving things back and forth to the GPU. Also, CUDA can be a big pain in the ass to get working.
