GPU (Graphics Processing Unit)

A GPU, or Graphics Processing Unit, is a specialized electronic circuit designed to accelerate the rendering of images, animations, and video for display. Unlike a CPU (Central Processing Unit), which handles general tasks, a GPU is optimized for parallel processing, allowing it to manage multiple calculations simultaneously. This makes it essential for tasks like gaming, video editing, and 3D rendering, where complex graphics are involved. Additionally, GPUs are increasingly used in non-graphic applications, such as machine learning and scientific simulations, due to their ability to perform rapid calculations efficiently.
