ITPEC IP April 2024 Question 12
ITPEC IP April 2024 — Question 12 of 100
A GPU is a processing unit specialized for highly parallel operations such as rendering 3D graphics and processing images. GPU stands for Graphics Processing Unit. Its many computation units can apply similar operations to large collections of pixels, vertices, or numeric data, so suitable work can be offloaded from the CPU and accelerated.
Answer (d)
Why not others:
- (a) describes a performance-rate measure such as GIPS, not a processor
- (b) describes the clock signal that synchronizes digital operations
- (c) describes cache memory, which is fast storage located logically between the CPU and main memory
Key rule: A CPU is a general-purpose processor, while a GPU is designed for massive parallelism and is especially effective for graphics, image, and matrix computations.
