Structure of the EU inside the GPU

[magicfoot]

Are the EU inside the GPU structured in the same was as the SSE or AVX registers in the conventional core ? Does anyone have any good links describing exactly what the EU are ?

In other words.is the Intel 3000 GPU architecture similar to the 48 core Nvidia GT 520 or the 96 cores of Nvidia GT430.

Is there some similarity between these architectures. What is this EU thing doing in the GPU/ the SSE and AVX in theregular cores are quite simple yet this GPU EU is a puzzle.

Hello,

Here are some documents that may be helpful:

• Sandy Bridge Product Overview:
  Everything you wanted to know about this new product architecture; covers both the CPU and the GPU.
• Intel HD Graphics Developer's Guide:
  Contains specific tips and tricks about the graphics architecture and how to use the Microsoft DirectX* API on these systems; use this information to maximize your performance across both the CPU and GPU.
• Intel HD Graphics Programmer's Reference Manual (PRM):
  Provides details on the internals of the various Intel graphics products, including Sandy Bridge.

These provide information on the overall GPU architecture, including the EU's.

Hope this helps!

Regards,
