Components of a GPU. 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.
Most operations on the GPU operate in a vectorized fashion: one operation can be performed on up to four values at once. For example, if one color R1, G1, B1 is to be modulated by another color R2, G2, B2 , the GPU can produce the resulting color R1*R2, G1*G2, B1*B2 in one operation. This functionality is useful in graphics because almost every ...
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.
The system architecture allows any accelerator, for instance a graphics processor, to operate at the same processing level as the system's CPU. Among its main features, HSA defines a unified virtual address space for compute devices: where GPUs traditionally have their own memory, separate from the main (CPU) memory, HSA requires these devices ...
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.
A notable early example of a domain-specific programmable architecture are GPUs. These specialized hardware were developed specifically to operate within the domain of image processing and computer graphics. [6] These programmable processing units found widespread adoption both in gaming consoles and personal computers.

Computer graphics deals with generating images and art with the aid of computers.Computer graphics is a core technology in digital photography, film, video games, digital art, cell phone and computer displays, and many specialized applications.
A GPU cluster is a computer cluster in which each node is equipped with a graphics processing unit (GPU). By harnessing the computational power of modern GPUs via general-purpose computing on graphics processing units (GPGPU), very fast calculations can be performed with a GPU cluster.
