heterogeneous computing

Heterogeneous computing involves using different types of processors within a single system to perform tasks more efficiently. Instead of relying only on traditional CPUs, it includes specialized processors like GPUs or FPGAs, each optimized for specific types of work. This combination allows a computer to handle diverse tasks—such as graphics, data processing, or artificial intelligence—more quickly and effectively. By leveraging various processors suited to different workloads, heterogeneous computing improves performance, energy efficiency, and flexibility in modern computing systems.
