  • Global Processing Unit, a generic name for a distributed computing project
  • Gnutella Processing Unit, a distributed computing client
  • Guinea pig units used in pharmacology
  • Ground Power Unit, a device used on the ground at airports to supply aircraft without an APU with electric power. It is also used by aircraft with APUs if the airport authority does not permit the usage of APUs at its docks or if the carrier wishes to save on the use of jet fuel (which APU's use). The most common form of GPU is a small vehicle or trailer with a diesel generator although units fueled with gasoline are not unknown. There are also all-electric units that are powered off of the local electrical grid.
  • Gatwick Ports Unit, the Special Branch unit based at Gatwick Airport

GPU : a Global Processing Unit - cluster software for P2P computing (828 words)
GPU dovrebbe creare una infrastruttura che permetta il calcolo distribuito; un eventuale, alquanto improbabile, successo del progetto potrebbe trasformare Internet in un gigantesco supercomputer da utilizzare per scopi pacifici e per ricerca sensata e aperta.
Sogni a parte, nel modello proposto da GPU, ogni utente può chiedere tempo di calcolo agli altri utenti; per contro tutti sono tenuti a provvedere risorse, se necessario.
The GPU plugin integrates with it, and a standalone client is available as well.
GPGPU (2850 words)
In this paper, an overview of recent advances in programmable GPUs is presented, with an emphasis on their application to molecular mechanics simulations and the programming techniques required to obtain optimal performance in these cases.
We demonstrate the use of GPUs for the calculation of long-range electrostatics and nonbonded forces for molecular dynamics simulations.
The application of GPU acceleration to biomolecular simulation is also demonstrated through the use of GPU-accelerated Coulomb-based ion placement and calculation of time-averaged potentials from molecular dynamics trajectories.
