The term GPU was popularized by nVIDIA in 1999, who marketed a computer graphics card called GeForce 256 as “The world’s first GPU”. However, the card was mainly designed for rendering of high-end computer graphics and enhancing computer-based gaming performance. In contrast, today’s GPUs also provide an inexpensive platform for developing and executing high-performance non-graphical applications. The development of general-purpose applications on GPUs is often termed as GPGPU (General Purpose Computing on GPUs) ...
