The GPU Users Group is a charitable non-profit organization founded by a group of computer hobbyists and enthusiasts who have a common interest: using off-the-shelf computers for processing, at high speed, large amounts of distributed data for leading scientific research projects by using inexpensive Graphical Processing Units (GPUs) commonly found in computer video cards.  This is also known as High Performance Computing, or HPC.

Our members are located around the world yet serve a common goal: promoting scientific research and progress via the facilitation of charitable contributions, and enhancing the effectiveness of research projects by providing free high performance computing power to scientific organizations and their projects.
