transfer the processing power of CPU to a GPU

[user34]

Hi all
I want to ask you that whether it is possible to transfer the processing power of a CPU to entirely an GPU for some specific applications.Such as Image processing and computer vision,Opencv Matlab etc.???
I an to implement lots of machine leaning and image processing algorithms on real time in my robot for that i want to use the GPU instead CPU.Is this possible????

You mean use a GPU 100% in place of a CPU? Not going to happen. The use of CUDA cores in applications is to assist the CPU by transferring a portion of the processing to the GPU. But you can't run your device & OS off of a GPU without a CPU as well.

I am only asking to run some specific applications such as opncv and matlab code and also to do some advance computer vision algos

If the code is compiled with the appropriate CUDA-enabled libraries & APIs, then yes, you can use nVidia GPUs to enhance performance. However, that a) requires that you have the correct code library, & b) limits the extra performance to nVidia GPUs.
