The readings page has a number of useful readings about the parallel architecture of modern GPUs.

This might be a dumb question, but how does a graphics card actually leverage a GPU?

@dvernet: A graphics card is a GPU (a chip) plus cooling for the chip and memory for the chip. It is attached to the system via the PCIe bus. Therefore, from a software perspective it would be reasonable for you to think of a GPU and a graphics card interchangably. An integrated GPU is a GPU that exists on the main CPU die, so there's no need for a separate card to host the GPU.
