General-purpose computing on graphics processing units

• abstract: General-purpose computing on graphics processing units (General-purpose graphics processing unit, GPGPU, GPGP or less often GP²U) is the utilization of a graphics processing unit (GPU), which typically handles computation only for computer graphics, to perform computation in applications traditionally handled by the central processing unit (CPU).Fung etal, "Mediated Reality Using Computer Graphics Hardware for Computer Vision", Proceedings of the International Symposium on Wearable Computing 2002 (ISWC2002), Seattle, Washington, USA, 7-10 Oct 2002, pp.
