GPU

Japanese: GPU - ジーピーユー
GPU
It is a semiconductor dedicated to generating image data to be displayed on the screen. In the past, images were calculated by the CPU, but now the burden is reduced by entrusting the processing to a dedicated semiconductor. GPUs are designed to perform image processing such as "drawing a window in a specific area of ​​the screen," "drawing in three dimensions," "overlapping multiple images," "making them semi-transparent," and "blurring borders" in a shorter time than the CPU, which helps to draw Windows GUIs quickly and create realistic images in games. The higher the performance of the GPU, the more beautiful the screen display and the faster it redraws. In addition to being installed as a dedicated component on motherboards and video cards, it has become common in recent years to be built into CPUs.

Japanese:
画面に表示する画像データを生成する専用の半導体です。昔は表示する映像をCPUに計算をさせて作っていましたが、現在は専用の半導体に処理を任せることで負担を減らしているのです。GPUは、「画面内の特定の領域にウィンドウを描く」「立体的に描く」「複数の画像を重ねる」「半透明にする」「境界線をぼかす」などの画像処理をCPUより短時間で行える設計になっており、ウィンドウズのGUIを軽快に描画したり、ゲームでリアルな映像表現をしたりするのに役立っています。GPUが高性能であるほど、画面の表示が美しく、書き換えが高速になります。専用の部品としてマザーボードやビデオカードに搭載されるほか、近年ではCPUに内蔵されるのが一般的になっています。
