Abstract

The Siggraph/Eurographics Graphics Hardware 2003 workshop (graphicshardware.org), held in San Diego, will likely be remembered as a turning point in modern computing. In one of those rare moments when a new paradigm visibly begins changing general-purpose computing's course, what has traditionally been a graphics-centric workshop shifted its attention to the nongraphics applications of the graphics processing unit.
