General-purpose computing on graphics processing units (GPGPU, or less often GPGP) is the use of a graphics processing unit (GPU), which typically handles computation only for computer graphics, to perform computation in applications traditionally handled by the central processing unit (CPU). [1][2][3][4] The use of multiple video cards in one c...

Jun 10, 2015 · GPGPU, or GPU computing, is the use of a GPU to handle general computing operations. Modern operating systems allow programs to access the GPU alongside the CPU, speeding up the overall performance.

General-purpose computing on graphics processing units (GPGPUs) constitute a cutting-edge technology that harnesses the power of graphics processing units (GPUs) for tasks that go beyond traditional graphics rendering.

GPGPU (General-purpose graphics processing unit) was born out of GPU (Graphics Processing Unit). In the early days, due to the promotion of the game industry, GPU became a processor chip specially designed to improve graphics rendering efficiency.

GPGPU stands for General-purpose computing on graphics processing units. OpenCL (Open Computing Language) is an open, royalty-free parallel programming specification developed by the Khronos Group, a non-profit consortium.

GPGPU, also known as GPGPU computing, refers to the increasingly commonplace, modern trend of using GPUs for non-specialized computations in addition to their traditional purpose of computation for computer graphics.

This part of the book aims to provide a gentle introduction to the world of general-purpose computation on graphics processing units, or "GPGPU," as it has come to be known.

General-purpose computing on graphics processing units (GPGPU) refers to using a GPU to perform computation traditionally handled by a CPU. It transforms a GPU from a specialized …

A General-Purpose Graphics Processing Unit (GPGPU) is a graphics processing unit (GPU) that is programmed for purposes beyond graphics processing, such as performing computations typically conducted by a Central Processing Unit (CPU).
