What's GPU in Morden computing?

In modern computing, GPU stands for Graphics Processing Unit. It's a specialized electronic
circuit designed to accelerate the creation and rendering of images, videos, and animations.
Additionally, GPUs are increasingly being used for general-purpose processing tasks due to
their parallel computing capabilities, making them useful for tasks like machine learning,
scientific simulations, and data processing.

1. **Machine Learning and AI:** GPUs are widely used for training and running deep learning
models due to their ability to process large amounts of data in parallel, leading to faster training
times.

2. **Scientific Computing:** Tasks like simulations, weather forecasting, and computational fluid
dynamics benefit from the parallel processing power of GPUs, enabling researchers to solve
complex problems more quickly.

3. **Data Processing:** GPUs can accelerate tasks such as data analytics, image and video
processing, and cryptography by efficiently handling massive datasets and performing
computations in parallel.

Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) play several crucial roles in modern computing:

1. **Graphics Rendering:** GPUs were originally designed to handle the rendering of images,
videos, and animations for displays. They excel at this task due to their parallel architecture,
which allows them to process large amounts of visual data quickly and efficiently.

2. **Parallel Processing:** GPUs are highly parallelized processors with numerous cores
capable of performing multiple calculations simultaneously. This parallel processing capability
makes them well-suited for a wide range of tasks beyond graphics rendering, including scientific
simulations, machine learning, data processing, and more.

3. **Machine Learning and AI:** GPUs have become indispensable for training and deploying
deep learning models due to their ability to process vast amounts of data in parallel. They
significantly accelerate the training process, making it feasible to train complex models on large
datasets in a reasonable amount of time.
