high performance computing on graphics processing units: hgpu.org

Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) have been conventionally used in the acceleration of 2D, 3D graphics and video rendering. Because of its performance and capability, the GPU has evolved into a highly parallel programmable processor that specializes in memory bandwith utilization and intensive computation. For operations involving graphics, GPUs offer a lot of gigaflops of processing prowess. The programmability and competency of GPU in the field of general-purpose computing is exemplified through the implementation of image processing techniques using Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA) which makes image processing be implemented with a high-speed performance.
