high performance computing on graphics processing units: hgpu.org

Many applications in the film and game industries require multiple calculations to be performed on vast data sets. Any of these tools that are required to run in real-time, and be used interactively, must be developed with performance in mind. The following paper aims to explain how the Central Processing Unit can be utilised effectively in order to speed up an existing application. It explores programs written using both SSE intrinsic instructions and Intels new SPMD programming compiler, as well as conventional the conventional serial approach.
