General-Purpose Computation Using Graphics Hardware
|
IntroductionGPGPU stands for General-Purpose computation on GPUs. With the increasing programmability of commodity graphics processing units (GPUs), these chips are capable of performing more than the specific graphics computations for which they were designed. They are now capable coprocessors, and their high speed makes them useful for a variety of applications. The goal of this page is to catalog the current and historical use of GPUs for general-purpose computation.

SIGGRAPH2002 Course: Interactive Geometric Computations with Graphics Hardware This SIGGRAPH 2002 course,
organized by Dinesh Manocha of UNC Chapel Hill, covered approaches to using graphics
hardware for various geometric problems, including voronoi computation, proximity
queries, motion planning, and more.
Posted: 19 Nov 2002 [GPGPU /Miscellaneous/Courses] # This paper describes the use of standard C++ to define a high-level
shading language directly in the API. The language is nearly
indistinguishable from a special-purpose shading language, yet it
simplifies implementation, and permits more direct interaction with
the specification of textures, parameters, and attributes.

Posted: 19 Nov 2002 [GPGPU /High-Level Languages] # The GAMMA research group
at UNC Chapel Hill
(led by Profs. Dinesh Manocha
and Ming Lin) uses GPUs for
Voronoi computations,
collision detection,
penetration computation and
collision response,
motion planning, and more.
Posted: 19 Nov 2002 [GPGPU /Miscellaneous/Research Groups] # CalTech CS101.3: Hacking The GPU Peter Schröder
taught a course in the fall of 2002 at CalTech called
Hacking The GPU.
The subject matter of the course revolved around general purpose computation. Assignments
included stable fluid simulation and mesh smoothing. The
course notes page
has some useful links.
