A very cool and interesting article from MS blogger Igor Ostrovsky.
Quote from: http://igoro.com/archive/how-gpu-came-to-be-used-for-general-computation/
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.
