This is the first book in a three-part series that traces the
development of the GPU. Initially developed for games the GPU can
now be found in cars, supercomputers, watches, game consoles and
more. GPU concepts go back to the 1970s when computer graphics was
developed for computer-aided design of automobiles and airplanes.
Early computer graphics systems were adopted by the film industry
and simulators for airplanes and high energy physics-exploding
nuclear bombs in computers instead of the atmosphere. A GPU has an
integrated transform and lighting engine, but these were not
available until the end of the 1990s. Heroic and historic companies
expanded the development and capabilities of the graphics
controller in pursuit of the ultimate device, a fully integrated
self-contained GPU. Fifteen companies worked on building the first
fully integrated GPU, some succeeded in the console, and
Northbridge segments, and Nvidia was the first to offer a fully
integrated GPU for the PC. Today the GPU can be found in every
platform that involves a computer and a user interface.
