The Rise Of GPU Computing

This video was uploaded to the YouTube channel Singularity Prosperity in February 2018.

This video is the sixth in a multi-part series discussing computing. In this video, we’ll be discussing the rise of GPU computing and the role it will play in AI computational tasks.

[0:22-5:26] Starting off we'll look at, the origins of GPU computing and the reason(s) for their mass adoption today.

[5:26-8:13] Following that we'll discuss, the use of GPU computing for artificial intelligence (AI) computing.

[8:13-9:38] To conclude we'll discuss, general purpose GPU (GPGPU) computing.

The Singularity Prosperity is a YouTube channel for those who want to know more about the innovations being made across the world, understand the impact certain technologies will have on society, utilise technology as a tool to better their lives and work together towards building a post-scarcity society.

The world has been changing at an accelerating rate since the industrial revolution, and this rate of change is only bound to increase as various technologies begin to converge with their own respective exponential trends. These technologies include quantum computing, virtual reality and artificial intelligence.
