I think everyone knows that GPU can be used for visual graphics like gaming and drawing things on a page with webGL. I'm more interested in computational powers like how it's able to compute bitcoin hashes. Are there cases of GPUs being used in other non-graphical computational cases? Like a mongodb/mysql index search?
- kohanz 13y agoGPUs are good at parallel processing, so any task that is highly parallelizable can see massive performance improvements through a GPU implementation. In my field, for example, medical image processing, GPU's are often used on highly computational problems to reduce the time an algorithm or image reconstruction takes.
