在1995年NVIDIA首先提出了GPU的概念,将图形处理工作独立出来,依靠图形处理芯片去运算与处理,从此开创出了一个沿袭至今的GPU时代。历经十二年的迅猛发展,目前GPU的浮点运算能力越发强大,甚至已经超越台式处理器好几倍,例如NVIDIA GeForce 8800 Ultra的运算能力已经超过300GFLOPS,性能直逼低端超级电脑。那么,假如使用如此强大的GPU直接处理通用运算,是否能打造出廉价物美的超级个人电脑呢? In 1995 NVIDIA first proposed the concept of GPU, the graphics work independently, relying on the graphics chip to the computing and processing, creating a from the GPU era so far. After 12 years of rapid development, the current GPU floating point computing power more powerful, and even beyond the desktop processor several times, such as the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 Ultra computing power has more than 300GFLOPS, performance almost equal to the low-end supercomputer. So, if the use of such a powerful GPU to deal directly with general computing, can create a super cheap and beautiful personal computer it?
