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.

Hybrid Ray Tracing: Ray Tracing Using GPU-Accelerated Image-Space Methods This paper by Robert et
al. at the University of Bern, Switzerland describes the object
intersection buffer (OIB), a GPU-based visibility preprocessing
algorithm for accelerating ray tracing. Based on this approach, a
hybrid ray tracer is proposed to exploit parallel ray tracing using
the GPU and CPU. (
