'''Open design GPU''' is the idea of a graphics processing unit whose design is shared in the open, so that anyone can study it, build it, improve it, and teach with it. A GPU draws the screen, plays video, and runs heavy parallel math. Almost all are closed. The original notes here asked for fast floating point, chips for mobile devices, desktops, and laptops, and fanless low-power operation. This page builds on those ideas. | '''Open design GPU''' is the idea of a graphics processing unit whose design is shared in the open, so that anyone can study it, build it, improve it, and teach with it.
