Modern computing has many foundational building blocks, including central processing units (CPUs), graphics processing units (GPUs) and data processing units (DPUs). However, what almost all modern ...

Graphics processing units have become much more prominent in recent years because of their ability to perform the complex calculations on large data sets that underpin modern artificial intelligence ...

And now we are hearing a lot more about DPUs – “Data Processing Units.” But don’t CPUs and GPUs already process data? The difference is a matter of “it ain’t what you do, it’s the way that you do it.” ...

What is a hyperscale data center? The clue is in the name: hyperscale data centers are massive facilities built by companies with vast data processing and storage needs. These firms may derive their ...

We look at Google’s TPUs – tensor processing units – and ask what makes them different to CPUs, GPUs and DPUs, as well as how you can take advantage of them in AI processing.
