Abstract :
Graphics processing units (GPUs) are becoming increasingly important in today´s platforms as their increased generality allows for them to be used as powerful coprocessors. In this paper, we explore possible applications for GPUs in real-time systems, discuss the limitations and constraints imposed by current GPU technology, and present a summary of our research addressing many such constraints.
