Introduction to GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) Key Concepts and Applications
What is a GPU? GPU stands for Graphics Processing Unit. It is designed to handle rendering graphics and video processing. Unlike the CPU, it specializes in parallel processing. Used in gaming, deep learning, and scientific computation.
Functions of a GPU 1. Rendering: Draws graphics and images. 2. Parallel Processing: Handles multiple tasks simultaneously. 3. Video Decoding/Encoding: Processes video data for media playback.
