I'm usually the first to upvote well-written GPGPU articles, but I'm flagging this as spam. See:

Not to mention, it's a direct copy of this post (which they've credited; but still it smells like spam): http://www.futurechips.org/chip-design-for-all/cpu-vs-gpgpu....

I am sorry to say this but your point about flagging the specific link as spam is not clear at all. You provide these "query links by subscriber" URLs but is not clear to me what this has to do with the GPGPU link being spam. YES these three accounts belong to the three executive editors of Java Code Geeks and YES each one of us is using his Hacker account to promote the articles he publishes on our site! what's wrong with that?

As far as the post itself is concerned, yes its a legitimate re-publication because the original author is our partner (JCG) thus has given us full permission to republish every article they write on our blog!

Also GPGPUs may be less accurate with fractional numbers. They do not support decimal types and double precission floating point operations are not as fast as single.
