Graphics processing units (GPUs) were originally designed to perform the highly parallel computations required for graphics rendering. But over the last couple of years, they’ve proven to be powerful ...

Support for unified memory across CPUs and GPUs in accelerated computing systems is the final piece of a programming puzzle that we have been assembling for about ten years now. Unified memory has a ...

Today marks the official launch of PeakStream, a software start-up that has been operating in stealth mode for over a year now while developing a new type of software platform aimed at making ...

The optimisation of GPU kernels through performance tuning and auto-tuning approaches has become essential in maximising computational efficiency on modern heterogeneous architectures. Researchers ...

Researchers from Stanford, Nvidia, and Together AI have developed a new technique that can discover new solutions to very complex problems. For example, they managed to optimize a critical GPU kernel ...

Windows 10's Windows System for Linux (WSL) will soon let developers run Linux GUI apps, while Linux guests on Windows will soon gain access to GPU power for hardware acceleration. WSL is currently ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. 1. GPUs are just for rendering video and processing images. As the name would imply, graphics processing units (GPUs) ...
