GPUsAPIs
GPUsAPIs refers to a broad set of application programming interfaces that expose the capabilities of graphics processing units (GPUs) to software. These interfaces enable issuing commands, managing memory, and executing highly parallel computations, supporting both graphics rendering and general purpose GPU (GPGPU) workloads. The term covers both vendor-specific and cross-platform standards and reflects ongoing efforts to improve performance and efficiency.
Major examples fall into two broad categories: graphics APIs, which drive rendering pipelines, and compute APIs,
Key concepts common to GPUsAPIs include devices and logical contexts, command buffers or queues, pipelines or
Design trends emphasize explicit control and reduced driver overhead, multithreaded command submission, and better cross-platform portability.
GPUsAPIs enable a wide range of applications, from real-time graphics and immersive rendering to scientific simulation,
