Anotace

One of the biggest developments in computer hardware in the last few years has been the introduction of a new generation of Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) with more power and flexibility than the CPU. Not only have GPUs revolutionized graphics programming, now developers are starting to use them wherever substantial processing power is required, for instance in financial and medical applications. This use of GPUs for more general purposes is referred to as General Purpose computation on GPUs(GPGPU). GPU Gems 2 continues the format of the first edition, with forty six chapters that detail cutting-edge programming techniques from some of the world's top experts. It goes beyond the first volume, however, in presenting in book form for the first time methods for GPGPU programming. This book offers the reader comprehensive knowledge for harnessing the enormous capabilities of modern GPUs. GPGPU has the potential to bring huge changes to the way computers work and applications are written. (Rick Rashid of Microsoft Research talked about GPGPU in his keynote at OOPSLA 2004.) N.B. - the character on the cover is a mermaid named "Nalu", and is the current focus of NVIDIA's marketing campaigns. She will be immediately recognizable to the target audience.
