This educational video by Branch Education - sponsored by Micron - explores how a graphic card works by first looking at the different components of the graphic card and architecture of the GPU and second by looking at the computational architecture to show why GPUs are well suited for data intensive workloads.  GPUs can process a large number of simple algebraic calculations in parallel making it an ideal product for applications in graphic cards for gaming, virtual reality, virtual currency mining, neural networks and AI applications, and many other high-performance computing applications.

Explore how graphics cards and GPUs work by watching the video and checking your understanding using the quiz below.
