In the past, the CPU was the undisputed center of computing. But today, the GPU has taken that crown—not by replacing the CPU ...

Technical Terms GPU: A graphics processing unit designed for highly parallel operations, notably effective for tasks such as multimedia rendering and large-scale numerical computations.

Called a Parallel Processing Unit (PPU), the company claims the technology works by moving tasks into and out of the processor at speeds faster than has previously been possible.

Finnish startup Flow Computing Oy today revealed seemingly outlandish plans to transform the chip industry with a new Parallel Processing Unit that it says can boost the performance of any central ...

Flow Computing is designing a parallel processing unit (PPU) to offload work from the CPU.

The chip technology it’s commercializing, which it has branded the Parallel Processing Unit, is the result of research performed at that lab (though VTT is an investor, the IP is owned by Flow).

The CPU controls the flow and hands workloads to the parallel unit. The CPU effectively executes the control flow, and the parallel unit executes the equivalent of data-place code. Source: Bryon Moyer ...

It hopes to make these improvements by adding a parallel processing unit, which they call the “back end” to a more-or-less standard CPU, the “front end”.

Still, Flow’s Parallel Processing Unit, or PPU, is designed to manage task allocation at the nanosecond level, enabling faster processing than ever before.
