Introduction to GPUs and other Accelerators

This Lecture will provide an overview about Special Purpose Processing devices, typically utilized as “accelerators” coupled with General Purpose Processors. Main focus will be on the well known GPUs (Graphical Processing Units), but other accelerators, such as FPGAs (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) will be introduced.
