Back in 2000, Ian Buck and a small computer graphics team at Stanford University were watching the steady evolution of computer graphics processors for gaming and thinking about how such devices could ...

Support for unified memory across CPUs and GPUs in accelerated computing systems is the final piece of a programming puzzle that we have been assembling for about ten years now. Unified memory has a ...

Graphics processing units (GPUs) were originally designed to perform the highly parallel computations required for graphics rendering. But over the last couple of years, they’ve proven to be powerful ...

NVIDIA has open-sourced its Linux GPU kernel drivers for products made and released after 2018. This means GPU functionalities like the clock and thermal management are now available for tweaking.

Government-funded academic research on parallel computing, stream processing, real-time shading languages, and programmable ...

The CPU and the GPU share access to some pages of memory. New Linux code helps the kernel keep track of memory holding data for the GPU. The management of video hardware has long been an area of ...

Windows 10's Windows System for Linux (WSL) will soon let developers run Linux GUI apps, while Linux guests on Windows will soon gain access to GPU power for hardware acceleration. WSL is currently ...
