Computational GPU (cGPU)
Computational Infrastructure; Machine Learning
noun phrase
Definition: A GPU used primarily for general-purpose numerical computation rather than graphics rendering, especially for highly parallel workloads such as simulation, machine learning, and inference [Sipola et al. 2022].
Example in context: “In machine learning and inference workloads, a computational GPU (cGPU) is deployed as a compute resource rather than as a graphics-rendering device, enabling highly parallel numerical processing.” [Liou et al. 2022]
Synonyms / variants: cGPU
Related terms: GPGPU; compute accelerator; parallel processor
