Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) are specialized computer chips originally designed for use in gaming, but have recently found a second life on the cloud because of their capabilities in high performance computing.
GPUs use parallel processing to efficiently and effectively solve complex problems across a wide range of domains, much faster than the serial processing approach of CPUs.
In this visualization for HIVE Digital, we look at five drivers behind the growth of the GPU cloud computing market.
1. Artificial Intelligence
Large Language Models, like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Bard, have surpassed human performance on a variety of tasks in part because of increasingly large training datasets.
In 2008, a NEC Laboratories model used a training package with 6.33...
