• Utilizing ubiquitous commodity graphics hardware for scientific computing 

      Nilsen, Bjørn-Hugo (Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2007-10-01)
      Current GPUs have many times the memory bandwidth and computing power compared to CPUs. The difference in performance is getting bigger as the evolution speed of the GPUs is higher than of the CPUs. This make it interesting to use the GPU for general purpose computing (GPGPU). I begin by looking at the architecture of the GPU, and some different techniques for programming on a GPU, including ...
