...Modern GPUs use most of their transistors to do calculations related to 3D computer graphics. They were initially used to accelerate the memory-intensive work of texture mapping and rendering polygons, later adding units to accelerate geometric calculations such as the rotation and translation of vertices into different coordinate systems. Recent developments in GPUs include support for programmable shaders which can manipulate vertices and textures with many of the same operations supported by CPUs, oversampling and interpolation techniques to reduce aliasing, and very high-precision color spaces. Because most of these computations involve matrix and vector operations, engineers and scientists have increasingly studied the use of GPUs for non-graphical calculations. An example of GPUs being used non-graphically is the generation of Bitcoins, where the graphical processing unit is used to solve puzzles. In addition to the 3D hardware, today's GPUs include basic 2D acceleration and framebuffer capabilities (usually with a VGA compatibility mode). Newer cards like AMD/ATI HD5000-HD7000 even lack 2D acceleration, it has to be emulated by 3D hardware.

Conclusion 3 IX. Reference 4 I. The meaning of Christology The Greek for “Messiah” is Christos, whence “Christ”. So, “christology” would discuss how Jesus came to be called the Messiah or Christ and what was meant by that designation. In a broader sense, “christology” discusses any evaluation of Jesus in respect to who he was and the role he played in the divine plan. Scholars distinguish different kinds of Christology. “Low christology” covers the evaluation of him in terms that do not necessarily include divinity, e.g. Messiah, Rabbi, Prophet, High Priest, Savior, Master. “High christology” covers the evaluation of Jesus in terms that include an aspect of divinity, e.g. Lord, Son of God, God. There are a wide range of conceivable possibilities in understanding the degree or manner of Jesus’ divinity. As to degree, theoretically Jesus could be seen as divine but as lesser than, e.g. angels who were known in the OT as “sons of God”; or Jesus could be deemed equal in divinity...

When Jesus multiplied the loaves and fish, he did not only feed the peoples physical hunger but their need to be concern for one another and sense of community as well John’s gospel focuses on Jesus’ divinity.

...Theological Meaning of Jesus’ Temptation Mark’s account on Jesus’ temptation is very brief. Most of the Mark account is found also in the Matthew and Luke versions, with the exception of "with the wild animals." According to the texts, after being baptized, Jesus fasted for forty days and nights in the Judean Desert. During this time, the devil appeared to Jesus and tempted him three times. Jesus having refused each temptation, the devil departed and angels came and brought nourishment to Jesus. Matt.4:2 set the stage for the great temptation involving Jesus. “He fasted for forty days and forty nights, and afterwards he was hungry.” We immediately read, "The tempter approached him and said to him, if you are the Son of God, command that these stones become loaves of bread" (vs. 3). The devil looks for the best time to tempt you and me. It may be when the Christian is without a job, is having family problems, or the local church is experiencing difficulties that the devil makes his appearance and appeal. But Jesus shows us that regardless of the circumstances surrounding us, we are able to overcome the devil. The devil quotes verbatim from the Septuagint translation regarding Psalms 91: 11, 12. While the devil correctly quotes the scripture, however, he does not correctly apply the teaching contained in Psalms 91: 11, 12 to the circumstances at hand. Hence, just because scripture is quoted does not necessarily mean the truth is being taught. Jesus both correctly quotes and...

...Short essay #2 CHRISTOLOGY PT. 1 As I continue this study, there is a question that keeps coming to my mind. A question that millions of people may ask right now, probably my neighbor, maybe a nurse, a lawyer or maybe that person that God has prepared his/her heart for us to answer or guide them to the right direction. A question that was in my mind many years ago, and thanks be to God, He has respond to that question! Who is this Jesus? Even that the fullness of Christ is indescribable, I begin to grasp the amazing concept that He, being fully Man and fully God, loves each of us with a never-ending love the extent of which is hard for us to imagine. There is some biblical basis Jesus had to be born as a human being for several reasons. Gal 4:4-5 says, “To redeem those under law”. Only a perfect human (Jesus Christ) could perfectly keep the law and perfectly fulfill the law, and redeeming us from that guilt, which He accomplished on the cross. In His humanity, Jesus was subjected to all the same kinds of trials like us; therefore, He is able to sympathize with us and to help us. He was tempted; He was persecuted; He was poor; He was despised; He suffered physical pain. Only a human being could experience these things, and only a human being could fully understand them through experience. (Hebrews 4:15). We must affirm not only that Jesus was fully human, but also that he was fully divine. There are several passages where is also used to refer to Jesus Christ. (John...

...THE SAVING NAME OF JESUS Presented to For BIBL 364 – Acts By January , 2014 Outline I. Introduction A. What is the focus of Peter’s advanced argument before the Jewish leaders; namely the Sanhedrin, where in Acts 4:12 he unveils the meaning of Psalm 118 to them? B. Peter’s words rebuke the Jewish leaders’ rejection of God’s appointed Messiah as he also cites Ps 118. This is a critical issue for Peter as this relates to the question of the “authority” by which Peter healed a lame man in chapter 3 II. The name of Jesus A. Only one can claim” I am the Way, the Truth and the Life.” His name, is Jesus. 1. Speaking of this verse 12, Allan Boesak observes: “This is the basis of Christian faith and Christian obedience.” Jesus is the cornerstone and foundation upon whom Christian build ((Ephesians 2:20). According to Hugo H. Culpepper “The understanding of the word, "saved", is crucial to the exposition of this verse. 2. Peter finds the foundation for his powerful Biblical argument before the Sanhedrin, in Psalm 118:22. B. The Absoluteness of Christianity. Thomas L. Constable asserts, “salvation" comes through "no one else" but Jesus ("no other name"). III. The Deity of Christ A. Salvation is made possible through Christ because He is God. 1. Christianity became known as the Way (Acts 9:2, 18:25, 19:9, 19:23, 22:4, 24:14, and 24:22). 2. Russell H.
