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.

Modal Fourier wavefront reconstruction using GPUs This work
approaches the fundamental problem of accelerating FFT computation by use of
GPUs, in order to apply it to Adaptive Optics, the key for obtaining the
maximum performance from projected ground-based eXtremely Large
Telescopes. A method to efficiently adapt the FFT for the underlying
architecture of GPUs is given. The authors derive a novel FFT method that
alternates base-2 and base-4 decomposition of the bidimensional domain to take
the most from Multiple Render Target extension as they elaborate a very
unusual Pease 8-data "butterfly".
