Abstract
A system and method for performing non-graphical algorithm calculations on a GPU (graphics processing unit), by adapting the non-graphical algorithm to be executed according to the texture mapping calculation functions of the GPU, for example within the Web Browser environment. The non-graphical algorithm preferably relates to comparison of a plurality of data points. Each data point may relate to any unit of information, including but not limited to a document (for a document comparison algorithm), information about movements of a unit (for a collision detection algorithm), determination of interactions between two more nodes on a graph, such as for example and without limitation, determining such interactions in a social media channel.
