"The Kalman filter operates recursively on streams of noisy input data to |
| 7 |
produce a statistically optimal estimate of the underlying system state." [1] |

(sounds like a database admin's dream tool, huh?) |

clean usage from "dirty/corrupted data" (think NSA, DOD etc etc). |

You like video on the Net? The Kalman Filter is one of the chief |
| 13 |
mathmatical advances in the field of video and graphics, among a myriad of |
| 14 |
other applications. The Kalman filter is unknown to most "digital |
| 15 |
mathmaticians" and application programers, but these days they rarely |
| 16 |
perform seraching or sorting without the benefits of Kalman Filters running |
| 17 |
on hardware (bare metal)...... |

The Kalman Filter is but one of the "bare metal Algorithms" that will |
| 20 |
benefit by orders of magnitude with true bare metal access to the GPU. |

If you really want to learn about where hardware meets software, |
| 24 |
read up on this man : Donald Knuth. Most programmers has never |
| 25 |
heard of him, let alone comprehend his "body of work". |
