View source for Lib Sh

'''Sh''' was an early [[metaprogramming]] language for [[GPGPU|programmable GPUs]]. It offered a general-purpose programming language, following a stream-processing model. Programs written in Sh could either run on [[CPU]]s or GPUs, obviating the need to write programs in a mix of two programming languages as was the case with earlier GPU programming systems such as [[Cg (programming language)|Cg]] or [[High-Level Shader Language|HLSL]].<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Tarditi |first1=David |first2=Sidd |last2=Puri |first3=Jose |last3=Oglesby |title=Accelerator: using data parallelism to program GPUs for general-purpose uses |journal=ACM SIGARCH Computer Architecture News |volume=34 |issue=5 |year=2006 |doi=10.1145/1168919.1168898}}</ref>
As of August 2006, it is no longer maintained. [[RapidMind|RapidMind Inc.]] was formed to commercialize the research behind Sh. RapidMind was then bought by Intel and ceased Sh development as well.
