A new tech­nol­ogy is going to break out in IT mar­ket; I’m talk­ing about GPGPU (Gen­eral Pur­pose Graphic pro­cess­ing unit). More than tech­nol­ogy, it could be defined as an idea, a smart way to use our graphic card proces­sor for doing some of the hard work that the stan­dard CPU can­not nor­mally stand as fast as we need. Born in 1990s, this tech­nique is going to became more famous due to the grow­ing need of com­pu­ta­tional power of our daily tasks. Sev­eral appli­ca­tions that need lots of com­put­ing power could be man­aged through the GPU that looks like a ded­i­cated unit for spe­cial oper­a­tions, such as cipher­ing algo­rithms, faster math­e­mat­ics as in the DNA chain rebuild­ing or robot motion plan­ning. It looks like that Intel and the oth­ers gives room enough for more and more sophis­ti­cated graph­i­cal devices, and that now these could over­whelm their hosts.

Why do I blog this?

It could be one of the most impor­tant top­ics in 2007. Go to visit the ded­i­cate web­site for more details.
