GPGPU
Noun
Meaning
GPGPU (uncountable)
(computing) Initialism of general-purpose computing on graphics processing units.
Examples
Accelerator support: Take advantage of high-performing accelerators such as GPGPU and Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor.
From ultra-low-power CUDA-enabled GPUs to the largest supercomputers in the world such as (meaning Milky Way), which can perform 1 quadrillion peak floating-point operations, GPGPU computing is redefining what is possible on a computer.
Before CUDA arrived I was accelerating general purpose code using GPGPU techniques relying on graphics primitives.
If you run something like Furmark or an extremely computationally intensive GPGPU workload, yeah, the typical boost clock may be around 1582MHz.
The trend of general-purpose computing on GPUs ( GPGPU ) may lead to wider use of SIMD in the future.
Now think of hundreds of GPUs in the cloud, working for you to over-detail, ray/path-trace in realtime, encode video, do arbitrary (GPGPU) computation.
