Computer Hardware Terms, Glossary and Dictionary

Visual Processing Unit (VPU), also known as Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) is the microprocessor of a graphics card (or graphics accelerator) for a personal computer or game console. Modern VPUs or GPUs are very efficient at manipulating and displaying computer graphics, and their highly-parallel structure makes them more effective than typical CPUs for a range of complex algorithms.
