  2. Nvidia Optimus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_Optimus

    As in the Windows implementation, by default all applications run through the integrated graphics processor. As of 2013 one can only run a program with improved graphical performance on the discrete GPU by explicitly invoking it as such: for example, by using the command line or through specially configured shortcut icon. Automatic detection ...

  3. Graphics processing unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_processing_unit

    Furthermore, each GPU vendor introduced its own API which only works with their cards: AMD APP SDK from AMD, and CUDA from Nvidia. These allow functions called compute kernels to run on the GPU's stream processors. This makes it possible for C programs to take advantage of a GPU's ability to operate on large buffers in parallel, while still ...

  4. Graphics card - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_card

    A modern consumer graphics card: A Radeon RX 6900 XT from AMD. A graphics card (also called a video card, display card, graphics accelerator, graphics adapter, VGA card/VGA, video adapter, display adapter, or colloquially GPU) is a computer expansion card that generates a feed of graphics output to a display device such as a monitor.

  5. Heterogeneous System Architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heterogeneous_System...

    Standard architecture with a discrete GPU attached to the PCI Express bus. Zero-copy between the GPU and CPU is not possible due to distinct physical memories. HSA brings unified virtual memory and facilitates passing pointers over PCI Express instead of copying the entire data.

  6. General-purpose computing on graphics processing units

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General-purpose_computing...

    General-purpose computing on graphics processing units (GPGPU, or less often GPGP) is the use of a graphics processing unit (GPU), which typically handles computation only for computer graphics, to perform computation in applications traditionally handled by the central processing unit (CPU).

  7. Metal (API) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metal_(API)

    Application developers also have the preference on how GPU commands are executed on which GPUs and provides suggestion on which GPU a certain command is most efficient to execute (commands to render a scene can be executed by the discrete GPU while post-processing and display can be handled by the integrated GPU). [8]

  8. GPU switching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPU_switching

    A classic motherboard with on-board integrated graphics processors, a discrete graphics card can be installed at a PCI slot. GPU switching is a mechanism used on computers with multiple graphic controllers. This mechanism allows the user to either maximize the graphic performance or prolong battery life by switching between the graphic cards.

  9. AMD Hybrid Graphics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMD_Hybrid_Graphics

    The Hybrid CrossFireX is a technology allowing the IGP, or Integrated Graphics Processor, and the discrete GPU, or Graphics Processing Unit, to form a CrossFire setup to enhance the system capability to render 3D scenes, while the Hybrid CrossFire X technology is present on the 790GX and 890G chipsets, with two supplied physical PCI-E x16 slots at x8 bandwidth, [12] can form a Hybrid CrossFire ...
