摘要：
This chapter provides an introduction to the use of Graphics Processor Units (GPUs) as parallel computing devices. It describes the architecture, the available functionality and the programming model. Simple examples and references to freely available tools and resources motivate the reader to explore these new possibilities. An overview of the different applications of GPUs demonstrates their wide applicability, yet also highlights limitations of their use. Finally, a glimpse into the future of GPUs sketches the growing prospects of these inexpensive parallel computing devices. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2006.
