Understanding GPUs: Exploring Their Architecture and Functionality
A GPU, or Graphics Processing Unit, is a specialized electronic circuit designed to rapidly manipulate and alter memory to accelerate the creation of images in a frame buffer intended for output to a display device. Initially developed to handle graphics rendering for video games and other multimedia applications, GPUs have evolved into powerful parallel processors capable of handling a wide range of tasks beyond graphics processing, including scientific simulations, machine learning, and cryptocurrency mining. The difference between GPU and CPU…
