- GPU (disambiguation)
GPU may be an acrynym for Computing Science Global processing unit , a generic name for a distributed computing project Gnutella processing unit , a http gpu.sourceforge.net distributed computing client Graphics processing unit , a special Stream processing stream processor used in computer graphics hardware Power Engineering Ground power unit , a device used on the ground at airport s to supply aircraft without an Auxiliary power unit APU with electric power . It is also used by aircraft with APUs if the airport authority does not permit the usage of APUs at its docks or if the carrier wishes to save on the use of jet fuel which APU s use . The most common form of GPU is a small vehicle or trailer with a diesel fuel diesel electrical generator generator although units fueled with gasoline are not unknown. There are also all electric units that are powered off of the local electrical grid.

- GPU cluster
Unreferenced date December 2006 A GPU cluster is a computer cluster in which each node is equipped with a Graphics Processing Unit GPU . By harnessing the computational power of modern GPUs via General Purpose Computing on Graphics Processing Units GPGPU , very fast calculations can be performed with a GPU cluster. Hardware GPU The hardware classification of GPU clusters fall into two categories Heterogeneous and Homogeneous. Heterogeneous Hardware from both of the major Independent hardware vendor IHV s can be used ATi and nVidia . Even if different models of the same GPU are used i.e. 8800GT mixed with 8800GTX the gpu cluster is considered heterogeneous. Homogeneous Every single GPU is of the same hardware class, make, and model. i.e. a homogeneous cluster comprising 100 8800GTs, all with the same amount of VRAM Classifying a GPU cluster according to the above semantics largely directs software development on the cluster, as different GPUs have different capabilities that can be utilized. Hardware Other Interconnect In addition to the computer nodes and their respective GPUs, a fast enough interconnect is needed in order to shuttle data amongst the nodes. The type of interconnect largely depends on the number of nodes present. Some examples of interconnects include Gigabit Ethernet and InfiniBand . Software The software components that are required to make many GPU equipped machines act as one include Operating System GPU driver for the each type of GPU present in each cluster ... to run a GPU cluster is somewhat similar to mapping an algorithm to run on a traditional computer ... up amongst the nodes of the GPU cluster.

- GPU switching
Orphan date March 2011 refimprove date July 2010 GPU switching is used on laptops with multiple graphics controllers. The standard situation gathers an integrated graphics device and a discrete video card. The latter being more power consuming than the first but also more efficient with higher 3D performances, such as needed for game playing and CAD . This dual graphics solution may then enable longer battery times when no high performance graphics is needed. Windows support Windows 7 fully supports this feature by dynamically switching from one device to the other when needed. The change is then transparent to the user. Linux support In the Linux systems, a patch named tt vga switcheroo tt ref http kerneltrap.org mailarchive git commits head 2010 3 4 28037 ref has been added since version 2.6.34 in order to deal with multiple GPU .

Release The original design was for 32 nanometer 32 nm , but TSMC canceled its 32 nm process in favor of 28 nm development. AMD was forced to adapt its designs as second generation 40 nm products. Even before canceling 32 nm process, TSMC priced their 32 nm process higher than 40 nm. AMD calculated that for mid range chips, the new VLIW4 architecture at 32 nm , would not be as cost effective as an updated VLIW5 on 40 nm. By moving the smaller chips Barts, Turks, and Caicos to 40 nm early, AMD avoided by luck a major delay from the 32 nm cancellation. The top parts, Cayman and Antilles ...

The force of the CPU GPU s heatsink will spread the Thermal paste over the processor s surface. It is always important not to apply too much metal thermal paste to the CPU GPU as excessive amount of applied thermal grease can act as a thermal isolator, and thereby lowering the capacities of cooling power.
