3.Type of GPU
 

1.Introduction of GPU:-
-Graphics processing unit, a specialized processor originally
designed to accelerate graphics rendering.

-GPUs can process many pieces of data simultaneously, making them

useful for machine learning, video editing, and gaming applications.

-A graphics processing unit (GPU) is a specialized electronic circuit

designed to manipulate and alter memory to accelerate the creation of
images in a frame buffer intended for output to display device.

-GPUs are used in embedded systems, mobile phones, personal

computers, workstations, and game consoles.
 2.GPU Features:
-A GPU can handle large amounts of data in many streams

-Now GPU’s don’t limit them up to graphical things they can be used
anywhere.
-Some of the fastest supercomputers in the world rely on GPUs to
advance scientific discoveries.

-GPU’s have large numbers of ALU’s, more so than

CPU’s. As a result, they can do large amounts of bulky
mathematical labor in a greater quantity than CPU’s.
Features included:
-Hardware overlays.
-Test rendering of polygons in 2-D and 3-D graphics.
 Who Invented the GPU:-

-Nvidia was the very first company to bring GPUs into the world in 1999.
-The first GPU in history was known as the GeForce 256.

Examples of GPU Companies:-

-Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Nvidia (NVDA)
are two of the biggest names in the GPU market
What Are GPUs Used For?
-GPUs for Gaming
-GPU for Machine Learning
-GPUs for Video Editing and Content Creation

What is special about GPU?

-It enables users to pay for transactions with Android devices in-store
and on supported websites, mobile apps and Google services, like the
Google Play Store.
GPU vs. Graphics Card: What’s the Difference ?
-GPU and graphics card (or video card) are often used interchangeably,
there is a subtle distinction between these terms.

-Much like a motherboard contains a CPU, a graphics card refers

to an add-in board that incorporates the GPU.

-This board also includes the raft of components required to both

allow the GPU to function and connect to the rest of the system.
3.GPUs come in two basic types:

1.INTEGRATED GRAPHICS 2.DISCRETE GRAPHICS

CARD CARD
What is integrated GPU:-
-Integrated graphics is a GPU built into the processor.
Integrated graphics hardware doesn't use a separate memory
bank for graphics/video. Instead, the GPU uses system
memory that is shared with the CPU.

What is a dedicated GPU:-

-A dedicated graphics card has its own memory source and so

doesn't rely on your system's RAM. This means a discrete graphics
card delivers crisp, clear graphics quickly, enabling video editing
and complex graphic design.
 GPU VS. CPU
GPU
• GPUs are designed specifically to
quickly render high-resolution images
and video.
• GPUs focus on graphics rendering.
• GPU is designed for data-parallelism
and applying the same instruction to
multiple data-items (SIMD).
CPU
• CPUs are used to respond to and process
the basic instructions that drive a
computer.
• CPUs are responsible for interpreting
most of a computer's commands.
• A CPU is designed for task-parallelism
and doing different operations.
