A GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) is a specialized type of processor that is designed to handle complex mathematical calculations related to graphics rendering and other computationally intensive tasks. In computational architecture, GPUs are often used in conjunction with CPUs (Central Processing Units) to accelerate the processing of large datasets and complex algorithms. By harnessing the power of parallel processing and optimized data handling, GPUs can provide significant performance gains over traditional CPU-only approaches for certain types of workloads.
