1. GRAPHICS PROCESSINGUNIT(GPU)BYAMALRAJ.RELECTRONICSC.P.T.C 2. INTRODUCTIONWhat is GPU?• It is a processor optimized for 2D/3D graphics, video,visual computing, and display.• It is highly parallel, highly multithreadedmultiprocessor optimized for visual computing.• Its uses parallel archetecture.It is also called Visualprocessing unit• It serves as both a programmable graphics processorand a scalable parallel computing platform.• It works along with CPU 3. CPU VERSUS GPU• A SIMPLE WAY TO UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCEBETWEEN A CPU ANDGPU IS TO COMPARE HOWTHEY PROCESS TASKS. A CPU CONSISTS OF A FEWCORES OPTIMIZED FOR SEQUENTIAL SERIALPROCESSING WHILE A GPU HAS A MASSIVELYPARALLEL ARCHITECTURE CONSISTS OF THOUSANDSOF SMALLER, MORE EFFICIENT CORES DESIGNED FORHANDLING MULTIPLE TASKS SIMULTANEOUSLY• GPUS HAVE THOUSANDS OF CORES TOPROCESS PARALLEL WORKLOADS EFFICIENTLY 4. GPU vs CPU• A GPU is tailored for highly parallel operation while a CPUexecutes programs serially• For this reason, GPUs have many parallel execution units andhigher transistor counts, while CPUs have few execution unitsand higher clockspeeds• GPUs have much deeper pipelines (several thousand stagesvs 10-20 for CPUs)• GPUs have significantly faster and more advanced memoryinterfaces as they need to shift around a lot more data thanCPUs 5. CPU VERSUS GPU 6. PHYSICAL VIEWOF A GPU 7. COMPONENTS OF A GPU* MOTHERBOARD* GRAPHICS PROCESSOR* MEMORY* DISPLAY CONNECTOR 8. The images you see on your monitor are made of tinydots called pixels. At most common resolutionsettings, a screen displays over a million pixels, and thecomputer has to decide what to do with every one inorder to create an image. To do this, it needs atranslator something to take binary data from the CPUand turn it into a picture you can see. Unless acomputer has graphics capability built into themotherboard, that translation takes place on thegraphics cardWorking 9. The CPU sends information about the image to thegraphics card. The graphics card decides how to use thepixels on the screen to create the image. It then sends thatinformation to the monitor through a cableTo make a 3Dimage,the graphics card first creates a wireframe out of straight lines. Then, it rasterizes the image(fills in the remaining pixels). It also adds lighting,texture and color. For fastpaced games,the computerhas to go through
