I found this very helpful. It's a 140 pages book and explains relatively abstract how modern gpu hardware works and the programming model.

Thanks, I was previously unaware of this reference. On a quick skim, it seems to be more of an outline of interesting research directions for GPU architecture than a synthesis of where things are, targeted at programmers. But it has lots of detail and is likely to be useful to lots of people!

The book looks pretty great!,pretty much in spirit to what I wanted. It is very slim but it has a big bibliography so it is perfect as an initial roadmap.
