Hello, I’ve coded a simple neural network using processing. I want to utilize the GPU for computational tasks. How could i do that?

Best regards, Ripolas.

Hello @ripolas,

I suggest limiting search to a few keywords such as _library (or plural), GPU, Java, acceleration…_

One article:

_[https://blogs.oracle.com/javamagazine/post/programming-the-gpu-in-java](https://blogs.oracle.com/javamagazine/post/programming-the-gpu-in-java)_

I then searched for the different libraries in the Processing forums.

Try the search in the upper right here:

> **[Welcome to Processing!](https://processing.org/)**
>
> Processing is a flexible software sketchbook and a language for learning how to code. Since 2001, Processing has promoted software literacy within the visual arts and visual literacy within technology…
