Topic 3: GPU

GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) is the processor that handles graphics-related tasks for
the CPU.
In the past, the CPU often took on the function of the GPU with a program called IGPU
"meaning that the GPU is integrated into the CPU". But the limitation of the IGPU is that
it is difficult to meet the needs of large workloads. In the modern era, the position of the
GPU is completely different and complementary to the CPU.
The advent of GPU has reduced the workload for the CPU, the CPU is responsible for
pulling the system to run according to the GPU's operations and spends its clocks on
other tasks in the system. Therefore, it saves a lot of time and solves the pressure of
creating a high-quality product for the market.
GPUs also handle multithreaded, parallel, and memory-intensive information processing
at high speeds. GPU technology is becoming increasingly programmable, offering the
potential to accelerate many programs for a variety of purposes, beyond that of
conventional processors (CPUs).
The difference between the floating-point capabilities of the two chips is that the GPU is
designed specifically for computing and processing parallel streams of information. It is
exactly what image-sharpening techniques require. Up to 80% of the chip’s transistors
are dedicated to computing data, not just receiving data and controlling the flow of
information.

Practical application of GPU


In game: Current game titles from popular game shops or cyber game shops all use GPU.
Current games all have the most realistic and smoothest images. In fact, hot jobs like
streamer or gamers playing hot games like PUBG or Call Of Duty ... all need GPU for
processing.
In image and video graphics: Currently, for engineers designing large projects, the GPU's
Cuda cores will directly affect the speed of drawing images, and video making. The GPU
will receive and process a large volume of command files from the user. In 2k or 4k
video making programs, the ability to Preview without lagging of high-end GPUs will
help you finish the task easier.
Applications: The use of GPUs in artificial intelligence, medical calculations, financial
modeling, modern scientific research and fields related to oil and gas exploration makes
them now widely popular. In which, artificial intelligence is the most anticipated product.
It aims at the future of robots doing heavy work instead of humans.

2. Using the words in parentheses, complete the text below with the appropriate
tenses
A microcomputer (1 – be) a small computer built around a microprocessor integrated
circuit, or chip. Whereas the early minicomputers (2 – replace) vacuum tubes with
discrete transistors, microcomputers (3 – use) microprocessors that integrated thousands
or millions of transistors on a single chip. In 1971 the Intel Corporation (4 – produce) the
first microprocessor, the Intel 4004, which (5 – be) powerful enough to function as a
computer although it (6 - produce) for use in a Japanese-made calculator. In 1975 the first
personal computer, the Altair, (7 – use) a successor chip, the Intel 8080 microprocessor.
Like minicomputers, early microcomputers (8 – have) relatively limited storage and data-
handling capabilities, but these (9 - grow) as storage technology (10 - improve) alongside
processing power.
1. Answers to the questions:
a) What is the main function of a GPU?
 The GPU handles graphics-related tasks, reducing the workload for the CPU.
b) In which cases is IGPU suitable?
 IGPU is suitable for tasks that do not require high workloads, such as basic
graphics processing.
c) Can GPUs handle Office programs well? Why?
 Yes, but GPUs are not optimized for Office programs as these tasks typically do
not require intensive graphics or parallel processing.
d) What is the distinguished feature of GPU in computing?
 GPUs are designed for computing and processing parallel streams of information,
with up to 80% of the chip’s transistors dedicated to computing data.
e) Should we play a heavy game like Call of Duty with IGPU?
 No, because IGPU struggles with large workloads and cannot meet the demands of
modern games.
f) What is the benefit of GPUs in video making?
 GPUs improve the speed of drawing images and video rendering, especially in
high-resolution programs like 2K or 4K, providing smooth previews without lag.
g) Why is GPU so popular now?
 GPUs are widely used in artificial intelligence, medical calculations, financial
modeling, scientific research, and oil exploration, making them essential in various
fields.
