Book Description
It is commonplace for graphics processing units or GPUs today to render extremely complex 3D scenes and textures, in real time, both in the traditional and mobile computing spaces. The computational power required to do this makes them a valuable resource to exploit for general purpose computation. In order to map programs originally designed for sequential CPUs onto massively parallel GPU architectures, it would be necessary to justify the transition with huge performance benefits. Over the last couple of years, there have been numerous proposals to improve the performance of GPUs used for general purpose computing (GPGPUs), but without much consideration for energy efficiency.
