Owens, David Luebke , Naga Govindaraju , Mark Harris , Jens Krüger, Aaron E . Lefohn , and Timothy J . Purcell Abstract The rapid increase in the performanc e of graphics hardware, coupled with recent improvements in its p rogramma- bility, have made graphics hardware a compelling platfor m fo r computationally demanding tasks in a wide va- riety of application domains . In this report, we describe, summarize, and analyze the latest research in mapping general-purpose computation to graphics hardware. We begin with the technical motivations that underlie general-purpose computation on graphics p rocessors (GPGPU) and describe the hardware and software developments that have led to the recent interest in this �eld. We then aim the main body of this report at two separate audiences . First, we describe the techniques used in mapping general-purpose computation to graphics hardware. We believe these techniques will be generally useful fo r researchers who pla n to develop the next generation of GPGPU algorithms and techniques . Second, we survey and categoriz
