At the Spring 2008 Editor’s day, NVIDIA presented their forthcoming series of graphics processing units which will be released next month. According to NVIDIA, usage of GPGPU, that is the use of graphic chips by regular programs, represents the future of computing. On the Editor’s day NVIDIA explained how amazing GPGPU is and showed several examples of applications where performance increased dramatically through the use of these techniques.  The idea behind this new technology is that the video card GPU will process regular programs instead of using the CPU - and NVIDIA’s CUDA compiler will make it possible. The CUDA compiler is capable of compiling any program written in C so they can be run on any NVIDIA GPU from series 8 and above. Source – hardwaresecrets.com.
