Vector Processing Unit would be more appropriate.
- KeplerBoy 3y agoWhy stop there? Matrix Processing Unit or Tensor Processing Unit if you want to trigger the physicists or are a fan of the google cloud.
- nologic01 3y agoDifferential Geometric Processing Unit would do it for me.
- speed_spread 3y agoThose things actually exists and are called NPU (Neural Processing Unit). Many recent ARM CPU have them (Apple, Qualcomm, etc.) and even new RISC-V CPU. They're different from GPU in being even more constrained in programming requiring usage of a fixed function vendor-supplied library.
- dragonwriter 3y agoThose are a different thing (which may be part of a GPU, e.g., Nvidia's Tensor Cores, or separate, e.g., Apple Neural Engine.)
