GPGPU

GPGPU stands for General Purpose Graphics Processing Unit. It means that a graphics processor, which is usually considered only for making images on your computer look nice, can be used for more than just graphics. GPGPU can be used to accelerate scientific calculations and mathematical problems, like figuring out the fastest route to take on a trip. This can make certain tasks much faster than they were before, which is great when you need to do a lot of calculations!
