General Purpose GPU Programming

General Purpose GPU Programming is a huge interest of mine. Having multiple threads in a program is one thing, but having thousands to perform a complex mathematical computation, that's a whole different story.

With GPGPU programming we can do hundreds of calculations at the same time, rather then doing one at a time sequentially. Since modern GPUs have thousands of cores, we can put a calculation on each core and perform many calculations at once.
