WHAT IS GPU?
It is processor optimized for 2D/3D graphics, video, visual computing,
and display.
It is highly parallel, highly multithreaded multiprocessor
optimized for visual computing.
parallel architecture- visual processing unit
Works along with cpu.
CPU VERSES GPU
A CPU consists of a few cores optimised for sequential serial
processing
GPU have thousands of cores to process parallel workloads efficiently
Gpu has deeper pipelines
GPUs have significantly faster and
more advanced memory interfaces
COMPONENTS OF GPU
A motherboard connections for data and power
A processor to decide what to do with each pixel
Memory to hold information
Display connector for power supply
DISADVANTAGES
GPU has more transistors, so it produce lot of heat ,so it is usually located
under a hear sink or a fan.
WORIKING OF GPU
The cpu sends information about the image
The graphics card decides how to use the pixel
The graphic card create wire fame
It rasterizes
Eg,
for paced games, the computer has to go through this process about sixty
times per second.
MODERN ARCHITECTURE
The GPU receives geometry information (mainly triangles in 3D) from the CPU
as an input and provides a picture as an output
Let see how that happens
1. HOST INTERFACE
2. VERTEX PROCESSING
3. TRIANGLE SETUP
4. PIXEL PROCESSING
5. MEMORY

CONCLUTION
This paper presents our evaluation and efficiency of GPU computing for data
applications.
In the future, we will continue this work by investigating the effects of
memory on the GPU performance and efficiency.
