GPUs

GPUs, or Graphics Processing Units, are specialized electronic circuits designed to accelerate the processing of images and videos for rendering graphics. They excel in handling parallel tasks, making them particularly effective for tasks involving large blocks of data and complex computations. Originally developed to render 3D graphics in video games, GPUs have evolved and are now widely used in various fields, including artificial intelligence, machine learning, scientific simulations, and cryptocurrency mining. Their architecture allows for the simultaneous processing of multiple operations, significantly speeding up tasks that can leverage parallelism compared to traditional CPUs (Central Processing Units). This capability has made GPUs essential in modern computing environments where graphical output and intense data processing are required.
