  I. Introduction to CPUs and GPUs A. Definition of CPUs and GPUs The  Central Processing Unit (CPU)  is the main processing unit of a computer system that performs the majority of the tasks required by the computer. It performs mathematical operations and executes instructions. The Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) is a specialized processor designed specifically for handling graphical and visual tasks. It is designed to perform a large number of simple operations in parallel, making it ideal for tasks such as rendering images, video, and animations. B. Brief history of CPUs and GPUs The first CPU, the Intel 4004, was introduced in 1971 and had a clock speed of 740 kHz. Over the years, CPU technology has advanced significantly, with clock speeds increasing and the number of cores increasing as well. Today, CPUs are multi-core processors with clock speeds of several GHz. GPUs have a more recent history, with the first GPU being introduced in 1999 by Nvidia. The first GPUs we...
