The graphics processing unit (GPU) is a type of computing technology that is designed for parallel processing and is used in a varied range of applications, such as graphics and video rendering. GPUs are also gaining traction across innovative production and artificial intelligence (AI). These units were initially designed to increase the speed of executing 3D graphics, and over time, they became flexible and programmable because of their enhanced capabilities, which allow graphics programmers to create interesting visual effects and realistic scenes with advanced lighting and shadowing techniques. Furthermore, other users also began to tap the power of GPUs to accelerate additional workloads in high-performance computing (HPC) and deep learning, among others.
