    Has anyone given a thought to, or experimented with OpenCL for running plugins, or the bukkit server utilizing the installed graphics card for more resources? I know these days graphics cards are pretty powerful and that you can actually run stuff on them using OpenCL, and I read something recently about utilizing OpenCL for Java.

    Just a thought. Graphic Cards aren't insanely expensive and might give a nice performance boost.

    OpenCL doesn't really work that way. It's suitable for only a limited amount of specific tasks.
    It also has an inherently high latancy to feed results back to main memory.

    The use of threading already is a good way for demanding plugins to take the most out of a machine.
    The really slow code is the MC server itself, nothing we can do about really.
