SUMMARY:A Guide to Using GPUs for General Signal Processing - Rich Wareham

DESCRIPTION:The theoretical processing power of a consumer-grade graphics 
 processing unit (GPU) now present on mid-range graphics cards is truly sta
 ggering. With even the _lowest spec_ nVidia GeForce 8-series cards having 
 a theoretical performance of over 340 GFlop/sec it is worth investing in t
 he time required to learn how to leverage the computing power of these pro
 cessors in applications beyond computer graphics.\n\nThis talk will cover 
 the modern graphics processing pipeline along with tips and techniques on 
 how it may be 'tricked' into performing useful computation. The talk will 
 cover the actual code required to implement a simple image processing exam
 ple capable of dealing with full HD resolution video streams in real-time.
