Von der hinteren Coverseite

Practical techniques straight from the leading minds in general purpose GPU research.

Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) are designed to be parallel having hundreds of cores versus traditional CPUs. Increasingly, you can leverage GPU power for any computationally-intense operation not just for graphics. If you're facing the challenge of programming systems to effectively use these massively parallel processors to achieve efficiency and performance goals, GPU Computing Gems provides a wealth of tested, proven GPU techniques. Learn from the leading researchers in concurrent programming, who have gathered their insights and experience in one volume under the guidance of NVIDIA and GPU expert Wen-mei Hwu.

Features

• Covers the breadth of industry from scientific simulation and electronic design automation to audio / video processing, medical imaging, computer vision, and more
• Many examples utilize NVIDIA Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA), the most widely-adopted GPU programming tool
• Offers insights and ideas as well as practical "hands-on" skills you can immediately put to use
