  2. General-purpose computing on graphics processing units

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General-purpose_computing...

    Because the GPU has access to every draw operation, it can analyze data in these forms quickly, whereas a CPU must poll every pixel or data element much more slowly, as the speed of access between a CPU and its larger pool of random-access memory (or in an even worse case, a hard drive) is slower than GPUs and video cards, which typically ...

  3. GPU-Z - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPU-Z

    TechPowerUp GPU-Z (or just GPU-Z) is a lightweight utility designed to provide information about video cards and GPUs. [2] The program displays the specifications of Graphics Processing Unit (often shortened to GPU) and its memory; also displays temperature, core frequency, memory frequency, GPU load and fan speeds.

  4. Graphics processing unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_processing_unit

    Components of a GPU. A graphics processing unit (GPU) is a specialized electronic circuit initially designed for digital image processing and to accelerate computer graphics, being present either as a discrete video card or embedded on motherboards, mobile phones, personal computers, workstations, and game consoles.

  5. GPUOpen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPUOpen

    A high efficiency, high performance heterogeneous ray tracing intersection library for GPU and CPU or APU on any platform. RapidFire SDK GitHub: DirectX, OpenGL: Windows: facilitates the use of AMD's video compression acceleration SIP blocks VCE (H.264 encoder) and UVD (H.264 decoder) for "Cloud gaming"/off-site rendering True Audio Next (TAN ...

  6. Texture mapping unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texture_mapping_unit

    In computer graphics, a texture mapping unit (TMU) is a component in modern graphics processing units (GPUs). They are able to rotate, resize, and distort a bitmap image to be placed onto an arbitrary plane of a given 3D model as a texture, in a process called texture mapping.

  7. GPU switching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPU_switching

    The CPU runs the task assignment application (usually the graphics card driver) to determine which GPU core to use. The CPU passes down the command to the Northbridge. The Northbridge passes down the command to the according GPU core. The GPU core processes the command and returns the rendered data back to the Northbridge.

  8. OpenGL - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenGL

    OpenGL (Open Graphics Library [4]) is a cross-language, cross-platform application programming interface (API) for rendering 2D and 3D vector graphics.The API is typically used to interact with a graphics processing unit (GPU), to achieve hardware-accelerated rendering.

  9. Hopper (microarchitecture) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hopper_(microarchitecture)

    Hopper is a graphics processing unit (GPU) microarchitecture developed by Nvidia. It is designed for datacenters and is used alongside the Lovelace microarchitecture. It is the latest generation of the line of products formerly branded as Nvidia Tesla , now Nvidia Data Centre GPUs.
