GPGPU means General Purpose computation on Graphics Processing Units. On this page a few basic programs and libraries are presented that show how the GPU can be used for computer vision tasks like edge detection.

Requirements

The following hardware and software is needed to run the programs:

  • A graphics card (and driver) that supports OpenGL 2.0
  • The OpenGL Utility Toolkit (GLUT)
  • C for Graphics (Cg)
  • C++ (e.g. Visual C++ 8.0)

  GLUT Win32 3.7.6 (117,1 KiB, 2.704 hits)

  Simple Shader Test (194,2 KiB, 2.910 hits)
