but I have no clue what a GPU gem is?
GPU is the buzzword for graphics card processors. Gems is the antiquated term used in the old "graphics gems" series of books, which in and of itself is assinine (much like the term GPU.)

And by and large the book series GPU gems is primarily about writing "shaders" (another assinine buzzword for "programs") for video cards-- well, video games anyway.

So whenever you see tons of assinine buzzwords you don't understand, you're safe to assume it's game industry related.
