  2. Graphics processing unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_processing_unit

    A graphics processing unit (GPU) is a specialized electronic circuit initially designed for digital image processing and to accelerate computer graphics, being present either as a discrete video card or embedded on motherboards, mobile phones, personal computers, workstations, and game consoles.

  3. General-purpose computing on graphics processing units

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General-purpose_computing...

    General-purpose computing on graphics processing units (GPGPU, or less often GPGP) is the use of a graphics processing unit (GPU), which typically handles computation only for computer graphics, to perform computation in applications traditionally handled by the central processing unit (CPU).

  4. Render output unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Render_output_unit

    In computer graphics, the render output unit (ROP) or raster operations pipeline is a hardware component in modern graphics processing units (GPUs) and one of the final steps in the rendering process of modern graphics cards.

  5. Graphics card - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_card

    A modern consumer graphics card: A Radeon RX 6900 XT from AMD. A graphics card (also called a video card, display card, graphics accelerator, graphics adapter, VGA card/VGA, video adapter, display adapter, or colloquially GPU) is a computer expansion card that generates a feed of graphics output to a display device such as a monitor.

  6. CUDA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CUDA

    In computing, CUDA is a proprietary [2] parallel computing platform and application programming interface (API) that allows software to use certain types of graphics processing units (GPUs) for accelerated general-purpose processing, an approach called general-purpose computing on GPUs.

  7. Graphics hardware - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_hardware

    The GPU, [3] or graphics processing unit, is the unit that allows the graphics card to function. It performs a large amount of the work given to the card. The majority of video playback on a computer is controlled by the GPU. Once again, a GPU can be either integrated or dedicated.

  8. Visual computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visual_Computing

    When computer scientists working in computer science disciplines that involve images, such as computer graphics, image processing, and computer vision, noticed that their methods and applications increasingly overlapped, they began using the term "visual computing" to describe these fields collectively. And also the programming methods on ...

  9. Computation offloading - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computation_offloading

    These input/output operations rely on a computer and its components, including the CPU, GPU, RAM, and storage. Game files are stored in a form of secondary memory which is then loaded into the main memory when executed. The CPU is responsible for processing input from the user and passing information to the GPU.
