Data Visualization and Mining Using the GPU

Overview An exciting development in the computing industry has been the emergence of Graphics Processing Units (GPU) as a fast general purpose co-processor. Initially designed for gaming applications, today's GPUs demonstrate impressive computing power and high levels of parallelism and are now being used for a variety of applications far removed from traditional graphics rendering settings. Perhaps the most powerful use of the GPU has been in visualization, which couples the raw computing power of the GPU with its extensive capabilities for rendering scenes. The GPU provides the required computing power and real-time interactive rendering capabilities and there are now GPU-assisted algorithms for many fundamental problems in data visualization and analysis, including such basic primitives as matrix operations, FFTs, wavelet transforms, clustering and mining data streams.
