Peak performance of GPUs typically counts in teraflops, and they are used in peta-scale systems. Most applications running on such systems can be considered as ill-conditioned, and no catastrophic or exceptional event may be blamed for computed results that fall too far from their target.

One solution is to spend some of the impressive ...
