GPU COMPUTING
WHAT IS GPU Computing?
- the usage of a graphic processing unit (GPU) along with a CPU to accelerate general-purpose scientific and engineering applications
- pioneered by NIVIDIA
BASICALLY, a (GPU + CPU) combination is godlike because
- CPU consists of a few cores more suited for serial processing
- while the GPU consists of thousands of smaller, more efficient cores suited for parallel processing
- serial portions of codes are run on the CPU, while the parallel portions are run on the GPU
