GPU高速運算一飛沖天

GPU Computing - At the Tipping Point

IEEE電腦學會刊登了一篇名為”GPU運算的紀元”的科技新知文章:

IEEE Computer Society has published an informative article about GPU Computing by NVIDIA's John Nickolls and Bill Dally. Here's the introduction:

“如今GPU圖形運算已經一飛沖天, 人們比以往更廣泛的運用GPU在吃重的消費端應用程式, 以及高等運算領域.”

“本篇文章告訴你三件事:

· GPU架構所經歷過的演化革命(NVIDIA GPU從簡單的圖形處理, 一躍而成為大規模/大量核心的高速平行運算處理器),

· 人們如何開發GPU高速運算於各個應用與研究的領域,

· CPU+GPU異構運算, 將高速平行運算推向應用的巔峰.”

“GPU computing is at a tipping point, becoming more widely used in demanding consumer applications and high-performance computing. This article describes the rapid evolution of GPU architectures (from graphics processors to massively parallel many-core multiprocessors), recent developments in GPU computing architectures, and how the enthusiastic adoption of CPU + GPU co-processing is accelerating parallel applications."
