Summary

We know that every computer contains a chip dedicated to display. This chip, under its plain aspect hides an extraordinary computing power and at least an equal complexity. Compared to it, a central processor unit seems weak.

This is this chip, nowadays called GPUs (graphical processor unit), which offers so beautiful images on video games and on films by the way of synthesised images. The technical report I have made will permit you to apprehend GPUs, to understand how they works and thus understand numbers given by the manufacturers of GPU.

My technical demonstration will talk about the capabilities of optimisation of GPUs from the point of view of the processing capabilities. You will also get a chance to see this famous chip.
