1.Introduction
2.Definition
3.Components of GPU
4.Architecture
5.Comparison with CPU
6.GPU Pipeline
7.Conclusion
INTRODUCTION :
• the term was
popularized by
Nvidia in 1999,who
marketed the geforce
256 as “the world’s
first GPU”.
• GPU is designed
especially for the
processing of 3D
graphic
• GPU’S form the heart
of modern graphics
cards
DEFINITION :
• A Graphics Processing Unit is called as
Visual Processing Unit(VPU)

• It is a dedicated processor efficient at


manipulating and displaying computer
graphics.

• Like a CPU it is a single chip processor.


COMPONENTS OF GPU :
The components of a Graphics processing unit are:
1.Graphical processor:
It performs graphical computations
2.Memory:
It is used to store images and list of coordinates
3.Multiprocessors:
It contains multi processors ,each with a shared
memoryblock,processors and register
4.Cores:
It is used to divide processing tasks
5.Fan:
It is used to cool it down
6.Connector:
It has connectors for graphics outputs
ARCHITECTURE :

• Control hardware dominates processors


• Complex,difficult to build and verify
• Takes substaintal fraction of die scales poorly
• Quadratic dependency checking
• Control hardware doesn’t do any math!
COMPARISON BETWEEN GPU
AND CPU :

GPU CPU
• Graphics • central processing
processing unit unit

• 100’s or 1000’s of • 4 – 8 cores


cores

• High throughput • low latency

• good for parallel • good for serial


processing processing

• Break jobs into • quickly process


separate tasks to task that require
process interactivity
simultaneously
The GPU Pipeline :

• The GPU receives geometry information from the CPU


as an input and provides a picture as an output
• Let’s see how that happens…

CHARACTERISTICS OF GRAPHICS IN GPU:

• Large computational requirements


• Massive parallelism
• Long latencies tolerable
• Deep,feed-forward pipelines
ADAVANTGES : DISADVANTAGES :

8x as many operations  GPU executes some types


executed per sec of code fast
4x as many bytes  need lot of data
transferred per sec parallelism,data reuse and
regularity
29x as much performance
 GPU’s are harder to
per dollar program and tune than
6x as much performance CPU’s
per watt  poor tools support for
irregular codes
Conclusion :
• GPU 157X FASTER for 400 nodes
• Lots of improvement can be made
• GPU is well suited for A.I
