Hi all,
Perhaps off topics... I keep coming across "GPU in Data Centers", ie. Nvidia. Exactly what does GPU have ANYTHING do with data centers? I can't imagine people setting up a server in the cloud, and then using that to process graphics or play games.
The short answer is similar to FPGAs or other specialized processing cores they are good for certain tasks. Here is a list of things that are libraries by Nvidia used for certain tasks related to that. https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/gpu-accelerated-applications/ Maybe that helps, Nick -- Fundamentally an organism has conscious mental states if and only if there is something that it is like to be that organism--something it is like for the organism. - Thomas Nagel
