Is it possible to use an IDL shader object for accessing a GPU device which is not a graphic device ?

Yes, using IDLgrShader, but that is fairly painful to program. I would
recommend using a library like GPULib (NVIDIA graphics cards only,
www.txcorp.com/gpulib) to accelerate IDL using a GPU.

Thanks for your answer. I know GPULib. But I would like to know how one can select, from legacy IDL, such a device (which can be a NVIDIA GPU device, but without any video capability)?
