11 Myths About GPU/GPGPUs for Defense Applications (.PDF Download)

Aug. 18, 2016

1. GPUs are just for rendering video and processing images.

As the name would imply, graphics processing units (GPUs) were originally designed to process and render images and video. Whether in the form of a discrete device or embedded alongside CPU cores on a single die, they are resident in every laptop, desktop, and gaming console. They are also used in their primary function within defense applications to render displays and compress captured video...
