Understanding GPU Features
Server Components (26%)
* Explain how expansion cards are connected and the features of the GPU, NDC, LOM, and OCP options Explanation of Options
* Option A: GPUs can be dynamically reprogrammed with a data path.
* Explanation: This statement describes the functionality of Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), not GPUs. FPGAs can be reprogrammed to alter the data path for specific applications.
* Conclusion: Incorrect.
* Option B: CPUs and GPUs perform the same types of tasks.
* Explanation: CPUs and GPUs are designed for different types of tasks. CPUs handle a wide range of general-purpose computing tasks with a few powerful cores optimized for sequential processing. GPUs have many smaller cores designed for parallel processing of similar tasks.
* Conclusion: Incorrect.
* Option C: A GPU has thousands of cores for efficient execution of parallel functions.
* Explanation: GPUs are equipped with thousands of smaller cores that can handle multiple operations simultaneously, making them ideal for parallel processing tasks such as graphics rendering, scientific computations, and machine learning.
* Conclusion: Correct Answer.
* Option D: GPUs handle compute-intensive parts of applications to assist CPUs.
* Explanation: GPUs are often used to offload compute-intensive tasks from the CPU, accelerating applications by handling parallelizable workloads. This collaboration enhances overall system performance.
