This is just barely related but maybe it is still of interest to you: as
part of writing the CUDA/Ada binding [1] I did some benchmarking of
matrix operations (addition and multiplication) using the
Ada.Numerics.Real_Arrays package. I compared the native Ada
implementation ("*"-operator), doing the multiplication on the GPU using
the CUDA/Ada binding and a native CUDA C implementation.
We are in the middle of finishing up the article documenting CUDA/Ada
which will contain a section analyzing the performance measurements. The
main focus is on the potential performance penalty of CUDA/Ada vs native
CUDA C though so as mentionend in the beginning this is probably
tangential to your question...
Cheers,
Adrian
