给出了GPU的最新快照，详细描述了当今最新的GPU的内部架构，以及如何利用GPU的编程技巧。另外额外探讨了如何利用GPU的计算能力完成其他计算任务（CUDA）。-This third volume of the best-selling GPU Gems series provides a snapshot of today s latest Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) programming techniques. The programmability of modern GPUs allows developers to not only distinguish themselves from one another but also to use this awesome processing power for non-graphics applications, such as physics simulation, financial analysis, and even virus detection—particularly with the CUDA architecture. Graphics remains the leading application for GPUs, and readers will find that the latest algorithms create ultra-realistic characters, better lighting, and post-rendering compositing effects.
