Abstract:
The graphical processing unit (GPU) is a piece of hardware that was primarily developed to enhance the realism and performance of computer games. In recent years however the hardware has been opened up to developers and GPU makers are now actively marketing the capabilities of the GPU as a generic processor. This project aims to evaluate what the GPU really has to offer and compare it to a more conventional processing device.
