CPU vs. GPU Intensive Applications
Computing has become increasingly important in our daily lives and society as a whole. While the trend of transistor counts doubling every two years, known as Moore’s Law, may be coming to an end, computing continues to play a vital role. But we aren’t referring to running background applications that hog resources or playing the most visually intensive games.
We are talking about the productive applications of computing for generational discovery. Computation has become an essential tool in many professions, with specialized subfields like computational biology, artificial intelligence and machine learning, and complex computational algorithms for industries like finance, weather, and more. Some of these fields have emerged in the last decade.
