Numerical accuracy differences in CPU and GPGPU codes

This thesis presents an analysis of numerical accuracy issues that are found in many scientific GPU applications due to floating-point computation. Two widely held myths about floating-point on GPUs are that the CPU's answer is more precise than the GPU version and that computations on the GPU...
