  • Graphical Process Unit a New Era
    Nov 2014 (Volume 1 Issue 6) JETIR (ISSN-2349-5162) Graphical Process Unit A New Era Santosh Kumar, Shashi Bhushan Jha, Rupesh Kumar Singh Students Computer Science and Engineering Dronacharya College of Engineering, Greater Noida, India Abstract - Now in present days every computer is come with G.P.U (graphical process unit). The graphics processing unit (G.P.U) has become an essential part of today's mainstream computing systems. Over the past 6 years, there has been a marked increase in the performance and potentiality of G.P.U. The modern G.P.Us is not only a powerful graphics engine but also a deeply parallel programmable processor showing peak arithmetic and memory bandwidth that substantially outpaces its CPU counterpart. The G.P.U's speedy increase in both programmability and capability has spawned a research community that has successfully mapped a broad area of computationally demanding, mixed problems to the G.P.U. This effort in general-purpose computing on the G.P.Us, also known as G.P.U computing, has positioned the G.P.U as a compelling alternative to traditional microprocessors in high-performance computer systems of the future. We illustrate the history, hardware, and programming model for G.P.U computing, abstract the state of the art in tools and techniques, and present 4 G.P.U computing successes in games physics and computational physics that deliver order-of- magnitude performance gains over optimized CPU applications. Index Terms - G.P.U, History of G.P.U, Future of G.P.U, Problems in G.P.U, eG.P.U, Integrated graphics ________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I.
