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. The concept of GPU has evolved significantly since the 1970s, beginning with arcade system boards that used specialized graphics circuits. Over time, developments such as the barrel shifter circuit and video shifter have improved the processing of graphics. The 1980s saw the advent of the first personal ordinateur[1] graphics display processor LSI chip, NEC µPD7220, which paved the way for the design of high-performance video graphics cards. GPUs have also been integral to the development of video games, with systems like the Namco Galaxian arcade system and Atari 8-bit computers utilizing specialized graphics hardware. Today, GPUs are an essential component of modern computing, driving advancements in PC graphics, gaming, and more.
A graphics processing unit (GPU) is a specialized electronic circuit initially designed to accelerate computer graphics et image processing (either on a video card or embedded on motherboards, mobile phones, les ordinateurs personnels, workstationset game consoles). After their initial design, GPUs were found to be useful for non-graphic calculations involving embarrassingly parallel problems due to their parallel structure. Other non-graphical uses include the training of neural networks et cryptocurrency mining.
