Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)

This video introduces the features and workings of the graphics processing unit; the GPU. Graphics cards, and GPUs, are big business these days, and the underlying technology is advancing at pace. This is driven by the expectations and desires of gamers who continually demand better performance, and more immersive gaming experiences.
The video covers the anatomy of a typical graphics card including its connections and interfaces and fundamental design of the GPU chip itself. The video includes a brief overview of the graphics pipeline, also known as the rendering pipeline, and mentions how GPUs have been designed specifically to handle graphics rendering tasks such as real time ray tracing.

Never stop what you're doing. You're a life savior and this is the best CS-related channel on YouTube.

I like the brief but important info about the CPU at the beginning.

[ognjend]

Fantastic content, thank you! Your British (Australian?) accent makes it even more enjoyable to watch :)

[shitshow_]

Thank you for posting great contents! 🙂

The only way to re-pay you is by sharing your videos with my peers and showing them how great these contents are : )

[khushjain]

Great informative video, thanks a lot.
Seeing the technology used and mapping every little detail about graphic in vector seems such an incredible idea and that too happening in real time makes me appreciate Technology and the beautiful minds behind it exponentially. Kudos to them.

[smiiks]

Just incredible. Going straight to the points. Thanks a millions for these masterpieces!!

[Someone-veyn]

This channel is just amazing, thank you!

[EnderSlimeygaming]

Simple and easy to understand visually, you are awesome!

The small figures make it harder for the eye, I recommend you to fit the diagram to the same width of the screen, from edge to edge, or at least close to that.

[evanescent]

This is a very informative video. It helps me a lot with my assignment as a computer engineering student. Thank you, sir.

[STRAGGLER]

Your explanation methods are top notch. Please keep doing what you're doing. Everything is better with graphic explanations.. This is the best. Thank you I'm learning new stuff new stuff.

[skillissuexd]

Im a pc enthusiast, your explanation is very simple and understandable, thank you very much ❣

[izzyakram]

Thank you so much for this clear and concise information. This helps a lot for my CS major.

[AjinkyaMahajan]

Great Explanation. It added a drop to my knowledge pool and increased the volume multifold. 🎇✨
Thanks
Cheers

Video ram (VRAM)/ frame buffer
GDDR6 DRAM has wider memory bus than regular DRAM.
The GPU does graphics pipeline/ rendering pipeline. To turn numerical computer data and turn it into something to display on the screen.
Opposed to a CPU, a GPU has hundreds to lightweight cores (or shader cores).
Single Instruction Multiple Data paradigm (SIMD): a cluster of cores share a single control unit. One instruction is given to each core which handle the same operation among different sets of data. The GPU has multiple sets of instruction stream.

Cache:
Level 1: cluster of cores share the memory
Level 2: all cores

Thank you for this well made video. Would you consider making a video about the evolution of graphics APIs to further this topic?

6:47 Those are not rotation matrices. They are just translation matrices 2 units in the y direction.

Also, that’s not how matrix-vector multiplication works. The vector must be on the RHS otherwise it’s ill-formed unless you are using row vectors.

What does it mean when you say that HDMI is slow at 60 Hz. Am I doing something wrong when connecting my 144 Hz monitor with HDMI or this has nothing to do with the display itself?

[ashokphour]

Is the graphics adapter is always used outside the SOC or it can be integrated inside SOC?

[edumeli]

I am currently studying linear algebra at university and I always wondered what's a real world purpose for it. Now I know😁
