<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The GPU, or Graphics Processing Unit on your videocard is a piece of electronica that is designed to translate visual data into everything you see on the monitor of your computer. For a very in-depth and technical explanation, I gladly point you to the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_processing_unit Wikipedia article] on the same subject. For when you have a couple of hours to kill.<br><br />
<br><br />
Up till BOINC 6.2 the GPU was only used for showing of the screen saver, it was BOINC 6.4 that brought us the first steps into using the [[General Purpose GPU |GPGPU]] and use the Nvidia Geforce GTX 8800 to do [[CUDA]] calculations at Seti@Home. Developers from Nvidia helped the developers of BOINC and Seti to port over the CPU application and get most of the bugs out. A couple of us briefed the developers on the bugs found by the public. It was fun & hectic times there in November-December 2008.<br><br />
<br><br />
BOINC 6.4.5 was the first public released version, quickly followed by a version 6.6 with lots more bug fixes.<br><br />
BOINC 6.10.35 saw [[ATI CAL]] support.<br><br />
BOINC 7.0.28 came with [[OpenCL]] support for AMD/ATI GPUs and Nvidia GPUs.<br><br />
BOINC 7.0.42 started OpenCL support on Intel HD Graphics 2500 and 4000 GPUs (built into Ivy Bridge iCore type CPUs).<br></div>Jord
