Covering a broad range of applications in graphics processing unit (GPU) computing, this book demonstrates the importance of this new technology and shows how to implement codes in real-world situations. The volume includes code examples written in CUDA.

This book covers the new topic of GPU computing with many applications involved, taken from diverse fields such as networking, seismology, fluid mechanics, nano-materials, data-mining , earthquakes ,mantle convection, visualization. It will show the public why GPU computing is important and easy to use. It will offer a reason why GPU computing is useful and how to implement codes in an everyday situation.

Shows how GPU are used in many diverse problems in science and engineering gives examples of codes Written in CUDA for diverse problems Shows how algorithms can be implemented on GPU Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
