GPGPU
General-Purpose Computation Using Graphics Hardware

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.

GPGPU Course at the University of Pennsylvania, Spring 2005

Suresh Venkatasubramanian will be teaching a GPGPU class at the University of Pennsylvania in Spring 2005. The class, titled "GPU Programming and Architecture" will focus on the stream programming abstraction of the GPU, and will cover the basic tools and techniques for designing and implementing algorithms for general purpose computations on the GPU.
