GPGPU Insights

What is GPGPU?

GPGPU (General-Purpose computing on Graphics Processing Units) is a technique that utilizes the parallel processing power of a graphics processing unit (GPU) to perform general-purpose computations, traditionally handled by the CPU. It is commonly used to accelerate computationally intensive tasks in various fields like scientific computing, machine learning, and image/video processing.
