".the perfect companion to Programming Massively Parallel Processors by Hwu & Kirk." -Nicolas Pinto, Research Scientist at Harvard & MIT, NVIDIA Fellow 2009-2010. Graphics processing units (GPUs) can do much more than render graphics. Scientists and researchers increasingly look to GPUs to improve the efficiency and performance of computationally-intensive experiments across a range of disciplines. GPU Computing Gems: Emerald Edition brings their techniques to you, showcasing GPU-based solutions including: Black hole simulations with CUDA GPU-accelerated computation and interactive display of molecular orbitals Temporal data mining for neuroscience GPU -based parallelization for fast circuit optimization Fast graph cuts for computer vision Real-time stereo on GPGPU using progressive multi-resolution adaptive windows GPU image demosaicing Tomographic image reconstruction from unordered lines with CUDA ...
