GPGPU

GPGPU (General-Purpose computing on Graphics Processing Units) involves using a graphics card, traditionally designed for rendering images and videos, for complex calculations beyond graphics. Unlike a CPU, which handles a few tasks at a time, a GPU can process thousands of data points simultaneously. This makes it highly effective for tasks like scientific simulations, data analysis, and machine learning, speeding up computations significantly. In essence, GPGPU repurposes the GPU’s parallel processing power to accelerate a wide range of non-graphics applications, harnessing the hardware’s massive computational capability for broader use cases.
