The social impact of GPUs

Big data is everywhere and so datasets are also everywhere, meaning that GPUs and AI can be applied to any other computational field. Since we have already discussed how GPUs can contribute in science and AI, let's read about some more examples in other fields that reveal more about how GPUs can contribute to our society.

We are going to discuss some diverse fields here, but, of course, there are no limits!

Archaeological restoration/reconstruction

The following research paper is discussed in this section: Automated GPU-Based Surface Morphology Reconstruction of Volume Data for Archaeology, D Jungblut, S Karl, H Mara, S Krömker, G Wittum (2012), Contributions in Mathematical and Computational...
