VLSI Trends: Why Graphics Hardware Is Fast - a podcast by John Owens

In this lecture we turn to the technology fundamentals behind the rise of the GPU: what are the technology trends of today's VLSI designs and how and why do they impact the GPU and its architecture? We also contrast CPUs and GPUs as well as the differences between task-parallel and time-multiplexed architectures.
