GPUarkkitehtuureissa
GPUarkkitehtuureissa refers to the architectural designs of Graphics Processing Units (GPUs). These architectures are fundamentally different from Central Processing Units (CPUs) and are optimized for parallel processing. While CPUs excel at sequential tasks and complex logic, GPUs are built to handle a massive number of simpler, repetitive calculations simultaneously. This makes them ideal for rendering graphics, which involves processing vast amounts of pixel and vertex data.
Early GPU architectures focused on fixed-function pipelines for basic graphics operations like shading and texturing. Modern
Key components in GPU architectures include the memory hierarchy, which consists of global memory, shared memory,
