A graphics processing unit (GPU) is a specialized electronic circuit or chip designed to accelerate computational tasks, with a particular emphasis on creating and rendering images, videos, and animations. GPUs are engineered for parallel processing, enabling them to swiftly and efficiently handle graphics-related computations in parallel. This characteristic makes GPUs well-suited for the rapid and effective rendering of images and graphics.
The primary components of graphics processing units (GPUs) include hardware, software, and services. Hardware involves the physical components of a computer system, with the GPU being a specialized electrical circuit designed to quickly operate and modify memory, expediting the generation of images in a frame buffer for display. GPUs find deployment both on-premises and in cloud modes, catering to various industry verticals such as electronics, information technology, telecommunications, defense and intelligence, media and entertainment, automotive, and other sectors.
