Hi Yuriy,

My advice is to use OpenCL. OpenCL is a standard to use the graphical card to carry out massive computation. The good news is that Ronie has worked on a binding between OpenCL and Pharo. I am using it and it works pretty well. http://smalltalkhub.com/#!/~ronsaldo/OpenCL

Alex first a good algorithm with a controlled complexity is important. If you have a naive algorithm you can wait that the Universe die before getting a result. I remember doing stupid algorithm that we speed up with roel from a couple of hours to 20 s. Second OpenCL binds you to system having openCL support and this is important to understand it. Stef
