In the framework of accelerating computational codes by Parallel Computing on Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), the data to be processed must be transferred from the Central Processing Unit (CPU) to the GPU and the results of the processing from the GPU to the CPU.
The GeForce 400 Series is the 11th generation of Nvidia's GeForce graphics processing units, which serves as the introduction for the Fermi architecture (GF-codenamed chips), named after the Italian physicist Enrico Fermi.
The standard is designed to simplify parallel programming of heterogeneous CPU/GPU systems.
