Abstract
A method is provided for optimizing computer processes executing on a graphics processing unit (GPU) and a central processing unit (CPU). Process data is subdivided into sequentially processed data and parallel processed data. The parallel processed data is subdivided into a plurality of data blocks assigned to a plurality of processing cores of the GPU. The data blocks on the GPU are processed with other data blocks in parallel on the plurality of processing cores. Sequentially processed data is processed on the CPU. Result data processed on the CPU is returned.
