Graphical Processing Unit (GPU)

A Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) is a specialized electronic circuit designed to accelerate the processing of images and computations. Originally built for rendering graphics in games and applications, GPUs have evolved to execute parallel tasks efficiently. This capability makes them ideal for tasks such as cryptocurrency mining, machine learning, and complex simulations. Unlike Central Processing Units (CPUs), which handle a wide range of tasks sequentially, GPUs are optimized for processing multiple operations simultaneously. In crypto exchanges, GPUs contribute to mining operations by solving complex algorithms that secure transactions and validate new blocks, enhancing the efficiency of blockchain networks.
