Five AI Compute Architectures Every Engineer Should Know: CPUs, GPUs, TPUs, NPUs, and LPUs Compared
Modern AI is not powered by a single sort of processor—it runs on a various ecosystem of specialised compute architectures, every making deliberate tradeoffs between flexibility, parallelism, and reminiscence effectivity. While conventional programs relied closely on CPUs, right now’s AI workloads are distributed throughout GPUs for enormous parallel computation, NPUs for environment friendly on-device inference,…
