General-Purpose Computation Using Graphics Hardware
 Forums 

Introduction

GPGPU 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.

FX Composer 1.5 Released

NVIDIA recently released an updated version of FX Composer with support for Shader Model 3.0 and tons of new sample shaders.  The latest version also includes many developer-requested UI improvements, support for NV4x GPU performance analysis, and a beta SDK that allows developer to write their own automation scripts, importers/exporters, etc.

The best way to view all the sample shaders is by downloading the latest NVIDIA SDK and looking at the "Effects" tab where you will find descriptions and screenshots of 250+ effects. (FX Composer Homepage)
