A graphics processing unit (GPU) is a specialized electronic circuit designed to rapidly manipulate and alter memory to accelerate the creation of images in a frame buffer intended for output to a display device.GPUs are used in embedded systems, mobile phones, personal computers, workstations, and game consoles.. Modern GPUs are very efficient at manipulating …

General-purpose computing on graphics processing units (GPGPU, or less often GPGP) is the use of a graphics processing unit (GPU), which typically handles computation only for computer graphics, to perform computation in applications traditionally handled by the central processing unit (CPU). The use of multiple video cards in one computer, or large numbers of graphics …

L'unità di elaborazione grafica (o processore grafico, in inglese graphics processing unit, sigla GPU) è un circuito elettronico progettato per accelerare la creazione di immagini in un frame buffer, destinato all'output su un dispositivo di visualizzazione. Le GPU vengono utilizzate in sistemi embedded come telefoni cellulari, personal computer e console di gioco.
