What Is Heterogeneous Computing?

May 13, 2022

Heterogeneous computing is a technology that uses different types of processors to enhance performance while improving energy efficiency. For example, the system combines CPUs and GPUs to assign tasks to the resources designed to handle that type of task.

The benefit of heterogeneous computing is that it boosts performance by processing diverse tasks, such as advanced calculation and image processing, in parallel on specialized hardware instead of adding more raw processing power.
