  Photo by Nana Dua Let first recap what is CPU and GPU.                              Image courtesy: researchgate Central Processing Unit (CPU) The Central Processing Unit (CPU) is the brain of a computer, responsible for carrying out most of the computational tasks. It's like the conductor of an orchestra, coordinating and executing instructions from various programs and applications. CPUs are designed to handle general-purpose tasks, such as running web browsers, editing documents, and playing games. They excel at both sequential and parallel processing. Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) The Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) is a specialized processor designed to handle the computationally intensive tasks involved in graphics rendering and image processing. Unlike CPUs, GPUs are designed for parallel processing, capable of handling multiple instructions simultaneously. This makes them ...
