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.

Call for Participation: AstroGPU 2007 A new workshop called AstroGPU 2007:
General Purpose Computation on GPUs in Astronomy and Astrophysics will be
held November 9-10th, 2007 at the Institute for Advanced Study in
Princeton, NJ. The goal of this workshop is to explore and discuss the
applicability of GPUs to astrophysical problems. It will bring together
astrophysicists, colleagues from other areas of science where GPGPU
techniques have been successfully applied, and representatives from the
industry who will demonstrate in tutorial sessions the GPU hardware,
programming tools, and GPGPU techniques. This workshop is geared towards
astrophysicists wishing to learn GPGPU (specifically, CUDA) techniques and
port their code to GPUs. For more information, see
