GPU stands for graphics processing unit, but these tiny chips can be used for much more than just graphics. Google is using GPUs to model the human brain, and Salesforce leans on them as a way of ...

对于大多数图形渲染开发者，GPU是既熟悉又陌生的部件，熟悉的是每天都需要跟它打交道，陌生的是GPU就如一个黑盒，不知道其内部硬件架构，更无从谈及其运行机制。 本文以NVIDIA作为主线，将试图全面且深入地剖析GPU的硬件架构及运行机制，主要涉及PC桌面级 ...

Nvidia has made improvements to its underlying software tools to make it easier to write programs for faster execution across CPUs and graphics processors. The company on Thursday announced CUDA 6, ...

AMD has released a version 6.2 of its ROCm software stack for GPU programming. Global AI GPU Product Marketing Manager Ronak Shah wrote a blog in support of the announcement: Whether you’re working on ...

本节将阐述GPU的内存访问、资源管理等机制。 由此可见，shader直接访问寄存器、L1、L2缓存还是比较快的，但访问纹理、常量缓存和全局内存非常慢，会造成很高的延迟。 上面的多级缓存结构可被称为“CPU-Style”，还存在GPU-Style的内存架构： 这种架构的特点是ALU ...

Project Babylon would extend the reach of Java to foreign programming models such as machine learning models, GPUs, SQL, and differential programming. Java would be extended to foreign programming ...

If you ever need to manipulate images really fast, or just want to make some pretty fractals, [Reuben] has just what you need. He developed a neat command line tool to send code to a graphics card and ...

In a move that shouldn't be that surprising, NVIDIA has announced that its popular CUDA platform is being ported to x86. The obvious angle here is that this will give NVIDIA a weapon against OpenCL ...
