Fog computing OpenFog Consortium, to promote interests and development in fog computing. Cisco Sr. Managing-Director Helder Antunes became the consortium's first chairman and Intel's Chief IoT Strategist Jeff Fedders became its first president. Both cloud computing and fog computing provide storage, applications, and data to end-users. However, fog computing has a closer proximity to end-users and bigger geographical distribution. Cloud Computing – the practice of using a network of remote servers hosted on the Internet to store, manage, and process data, rather than a local server or a personal computer. Cloud Computing can be a heavyweight and dense form of computing power.
General-purpose computing on graphics processing units provides a simplified GPU programming model based on GPU parallel-for and parallel aggregate using delegates and automatic memory management. MATLAB supports GPGPU acceleration using the "Parallel Computing Toolbox" and "MATLAB Distributed Computing Server", and third-party packages like Jacket. GPGPU processing is also used to simulate Newtonian physics by Physics engines, and commercial implementations include Havok Physics, FX and PhysX, both of which are typically used for computer and video games. Close to Metal, now called Stream, is AMD's GPGPU technology for ATI Radeon-based GPUs. C++ Accelerated Massive Parallelism (C++ AMP) is a library that accelerates execution of C++ code by
