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.

CUDA Tutorial at Supercomputing 2007 On Sunday November 11 2007 at SC07 in Reno NVIDIA will host a full-day tutorial on CUDA. In this tutorial NVIDIA engineers will partner with academic and industrial researchers to present CUDA and discuss its advanced use for science and engineering domains. The morning session will introduce CUDA programming and the execution and memory models at its heart, motivate the use of CUDA with many brief examples from different HPC domains, and discuss fundamental algorithmic building blocks in CUDA. The afternoon will discuss advanced issues such as optimization and "tips & tricks", and include real-world case studies from domain scientists using CUDA (VMD and NAMD Molecular Dynamics and Oil and Gas).
