This paper focuses on An Overview of High Performance with GPU and CUDA Media Processing System. The GPU ubiquitous graphics processing unit in every PC, laptop, desktop computer, and workstation. In its most basic form, the GPU generates 2D and 3D graphics, images, and video that enable window based operating systems, graphical user interfaces, video games, visual imaging applications, and video. The modern GPU that we describe here is a highly parallel, highly multithreaded multiprocessor optimized for visual computing. To provide real-time visual interaction with computed objects via graphics images, and video, the GPU has a unified graphics and computing architecture that serves as both a programmable graphics processor and a scalable parallel computing platform. PCs and game consoles combine a GPU with a CPU to form heterogeneous systems.
