Graphics Processing Units (GPUs)

ˈɡræfɪks ˈprɒsɛsɪŋ ˈjuːnɪts

Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) are specialized hardware designed to accelerate the rendering of images and video. Unlike traditional CPUs, which are optimized for sequential processing, GPUs can handle thousands of operations simultaneously, making them particularly suited for parallel processing tasks. This capability is crucial in fields such as deep learning and artificial intelligence, where large datasets and complex computations are common. GPUs are widely used in training machine learning models, rendering graphics in video games, and processing large-scale data in scientific simulations.
