The huge amount of computing power needed for signal processing and off-line simulation makes High-Energy Physics an ideal target for GPUs. Since the first versions of CUDA, considerable progress has been made in demonstrating the benefit of GPUs for these processing pipelines and GPUs are now being deployed for production systems. However, early experiments also showed some of the challenges...

Around 2005-2008, (mostly) economic reasons led to the adoption of commodity GPU in high-performance computing. This transformation has been so effective that in 2013 the TOP500 list of supercomputers is still dominated by heterogeneous architectures based on CPU+coprocessor. In 2013, the largest commodity market in computing is not the one of PCs or GPUs, but mobile computing, comprising...
