How GPU came to be used for general computation

(1/1)

Eóin:
A very cool and interesting article from MS blogger Igor Ostrovsky.

The story of how GPU came to be used for high-performance computation is pretty cool. Hardware heavily optimized for graphics turned out to be useful for another use: certain types of high-performance computations. In this article, I will explore how and why this happened, and summarize the state of general computation on GPUs today.-http://igoro.com/archive/how-gpu-came-to-be-used-for-general-computation/

I bumped upon Igor's blog a few weeks ago, he has a couple of pretty OK things there :) - time to read the article.

Interesting, but a bit beyond my level of education. :huh:

I liked the pretty video though. :Thmbsup:
