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.

BionicFX uses GPU as Powerful Audio Effect Processor From a press release at www.BionicFX.com: "BionicFX announces a revolutionary technology for music production that turns NVIDIA video cards into audio effects processors. Audio Video Exchange (AVEX) converts digital audio into graphics data, and then performs effect calculations using the 3D architecture of the GPU. The latest video cards from NVIDIA are capable of more than 40 gigaflops of processing power compared to less than 6 gigaflops on Intel and AMD CPUs. AVEX represents a major technological achievement that allows music hobbyists and professional artists to run studio quality audio effects at high sample rates on their desktop computer.

Posted: 05 Sep 2004 [GPGPU /Audio and Signal Processing] # Typhoonlabs publish a GPGPU-based Fractal Explorer TyphoonLabs have published the Fractal Explorer v1.0, an application to explore the most common fractals (such as Julia sets, Mandelbrot sets, and some alternate Julia planes) using the GPU to compute them. It can easily be extended with new fractals written in the OpenGL Shading Language. (TyphoonLabs Fractal Explorer v1.0)
