Windows7 inspires graphics card potential for the first time to include GPU in the system core

On November 7th, the last day of the Microsoft teched technology conference, Mr. Shi Chengqiu, technical marketing manager of Nvidia China, said that Windows7's built-in DirectCompute and NVIDIA GPUs are combined to accelerate digital media applications.

Shi Chengqiu said that Windows 7 is the best operating system he has ever used. For the first time in Windows 7, GPU is also one of the core components of the operating system, and it forms an environment for collaborative processing with the CPU. Let the CPU become the heart of the computer to distribute the computer work, and the GPU works as the brain of the computer.

Microsoft's DirectCompute is a new GPU Computing Application Programming Interface (API), running on NVIDIA CUDA architecture on top of the existing (Windows Vista and Windows7), which, like OpenCL, provides developers with a parallel The API for the calculation. Both current DX10 GPUs and future DX11 GPUs support DirectCompute. It enables developers to leverage the massive parallel computing power of NVIDIA GPUs to create compelling consumer and professional computing applications.
