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. 606 $aComputer graphics 606 $aComputers$xHistory 606 $aUser interfaces (Computer systems) 606 $aHuman-computer interaction 606 $aComputer Graphics 606 $aHistory of Computing 606 $aUser Interfaces and Human Computer Interaction 615 0$aComputer graphics. 615 0$aComputers$xHistory. 615 0$aUser interfaces (Computer systems) 615 0$aHuman-computer interaction. 615 14$aComputer Graphics. 615 24$aHistory of Computing. 615 24$aUser Interfaces and Human Computer Interaction. 676 $a016.503 676 $a006.6 700 $aPeddie$b Jon$0481077 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910639896303321 996 $aThe history of the GPU$93363603 997 $aUNINA
