Computing?
GPU parallel computing refers to a device’s ability to run
several calculations or processes simultaneously.
In this article, we will cover what a GPU is, break down GPU
parallel computing, and take a look at the wide range of
different ways GPUs are utilized.
What is a GPU?
GPUs are still used to drive and advance gaming graphics and
improve PC workstations, but their wide range of use has also
led them to become a large part of modern supercomputing.
Their high-performance computing (HPC) ability makes them
an ideal choice for machine learning, which is the science of
getting computers to learn and act as humans do. This can also
be known as deep learning.
With machine learning or deep learning, the goal is to get
computers to improve their learning over time in an
autonomous fashion. This is done via feeding them data and
information in the form of observations and real-world
interactions.
GPUs are useful for machine learning because they can
provide the bandwidth needed to accommodate large datasets
and enable the distribution of training processes, which can
significantly speed machine learning operations.
With this ability to perform many computations at once, GPUs
have become accelerators for speeding up all sorts of tasks
from encryption to networking to even artificial
intelligence (AI).

For starters, GPUs are more powerful than CPUs. They have
more cores, more computing power, and the ability to run
several calculations or processes simultaneously instead of one
at a time like CPUs.
