Abstract
- CPU designed for specialised purposes
DPU (Data Processing Unit)
- Function like CPU & usually based on ARM
- Highly optimised for Data Transfer
- Handles Network Operations & data storage (encryption & compression etc)
- The goal is to do the data processing job for the general CPU
QPU (Quantum Processing Unit)
- Deal with Qubit instead of Bit
- Deal with Quantum Gates instead of Logic Gates
TPU (Tensor Processor Unit)
- Function like GPU, but designed specifically for Tensor Operation
- Contains thousands of Multiply Accumulators that allow hardware to perform Matrix Multiplication without accessing Register or Shared Memory like a GPU would
