Graphical Processing Unit (GPU) (de.: Graphikprozessor)

An application-specific integrated circuit designed to manipulate and alter memory to accelerate the creation of images in a frame buffer intended for output to a display device.

ISO/IEC TR 29119-11:2020 GPU: application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) specialized for display functions such as rendering images

Note 1 to entry: GPUs are designed for parallel data processing of images with a single function, but this parallel processing is also useful for executing AI-based software, such as neural networks (3.1.48).
