Computer Science
Description: This course introduces students to general purpose computing on graphics processing units (GPGPU). Graphics processing units (GPUs) are parallel processors which typically contain thousands of low-powered cores. Therefore, the utility of GPUs has extended beyond graphics rendering, where they can be used for general purpose computation. This course will examine key concepts in GPU programming for general purpose computation. Co-convened with CS 453. Letter grade only.
