In a nutshell, OpenCL is a so-called "GPGPU" specification that enables programmers to tap the power of the GPU as a data-parallel coprocessor without having to learn to speak the specialized ...

Knowing how and when to use GPGPU in HPEC computing will give embedded designers a better understanding of managing power consumption and load balancing using this powerful processing technology.

In a way, this is a reverse of the normal "GPGPU" trend, in which programs that run on a CPU are modified to run in whole or in part on a GPU. Why would you want to run GPU programs on a CPU?

AMD/ATI have finally released a GPGPU. For those of you not in the know, the extra GP on the front of that is for General Purpose, meaning its not really used for graphics. In fact, as you can see ...

That meant modern GPGPU pipelines could leverage the speed of a GPU without requiring complete and explicit conversion of the data to a graphical form. NVIDIA describes CUDA as a parallel ...

This will be India’s sixth semiconductor fabrication unit. The other five, in advanced stages and located in Gujarat, are joint ventures with Indian companies and foreign manufacturers such as Micron ...

So that’s why the fact that the advert lists “experience on GPGPU programming” as required is rather interesting. A previous job listing for a Staff Compiler Engineer at SCE’s US R&D team ...

TweakTown may also earn commissions from other affiliate partners at no extra cost to you. The GPGPU has become the ultimate hacking tool. At least that is what Theo Valich is saying. In his blog ...

Known in China as the grandfather of domestic CPUs, Loongson develops processors and chips in a bid to reduce the country's reliance on foreign technology, particularly from companies such as ...
