GPU

Also called: GPUs, graphics processing unit, graphics card, compute, AI chip, AI chips

Graphics processing unit. A computer chip built to do a very large number of small calculations at the same time. Training and running AI models is that kind of work, so GPUs do it much faster than ordinary processors.

For example: A developer tries to run a large model on a laptop without a GPU and waits a long time for each answer. On a server with GPUs the same model answers quickly.
