We discuss hardware and software aspects of GPGPU, specifically focusing on NVIDIA cards and CUDA, from the viewpoints of parallel computing. The major weak points of GPU against newest supercomputers are identified to be and summarized as only four points: large SIMD vector length, small memory, absence of fast L2 cache, and high register spill penalty. As software concerns, we derive optimal scheduling algorithm for latency hiding of host-device data transfer, and discuss SPMD parallelism on GPUs.
