Abstract :
GPUs have fundamentally changed the playing field of high performance computing. Starting out as devices intended only for the display of 3D images, GPUs are now being used as supercomputers – attached processors used to accelerate computationally intensive applications. In this talk, I´ll provide a brief history of the GPU, the evolution of GPUs into computing devices, and the challenges that lie ahead in the evolution of the GPU. I´ll also provide my vision of the future of these devices.
