Unit 4 Accelerating AI with GPUs

Question 1

What is the history of GPUs?

Answer 1

Since the advent of computers in the 1970s, specialized electronic circuits have been used to
process pixel data. Over the years, the processing capability of GPUs has increased dramatically
as images have become photorealistic.

Question 2

What are the key architectural components of a GPU?

Answer 2

The key architectural components of a GPU are GPU cores, cache memory, and GPU-specific
memory.

Question 3

What is the primary role of a GPU in computer systems?

Answer 3

The primary role of a GPU in computer systems is to execute highly parallel tasks

Question 4

What are the key differences between CPUs and GPUs?

Answer 4

CPUs are designed for general-purpose computing and handling of complex logic, while GPUs
are optimized for high parallel processing capability
