NCSA and TeraGrid resources help researchers identify and understand next-generation candidates. Tue, 27 Oct 2009 14:33:00 GMT http://www.ncsa.illinois.edu/News/Stories/GPUcomputing/ Graphics processing units (GPUs) aren't just for graphics anymore. These high-performance "many-core" processors are increasingly being used to accelerate a wide range of science and engineering applications, in many cases offering dramatically increased performance compared to CPUs. But many questions surround the use of GPUs. Here IACAT and NCSA staff who work with GPUs provide some answers.
