How do Graphics Cards Work? GPU Architecture Deep Dive
2How do Graphics Cards Work? GPU Architecture Deep Dive - video that explains how graphics cards work by breaking down the physical and computational architecture of a specific graphics card, the GeForce RTX 3090. The video starts by establishing the difference between graphics processing units (GPUs) and central processing units (CPUs), then delves into the internal components and layout of the GPU chip, highlighting the different types of cores responsible for various calculations. The video then discusses the concepts of single instruction, multiple data (SIMD) and single instruction, multiple threads (SIMT) architectures, demonstrating how these principles enable GPUs to perform parallel computations efficiently. Finally, the video explores the application of GPUs in bitcoin mining and neural networks, explaining the underlying mathematical operations involved in these tasks.
