What is a GPU?
Alex Hudak, Offering Manager for IBM Cloud™, defines a graphic processing unit (GPU) as "the extra brain power that the CPU can't do on its own." Watch as Alex explains the core basics of GPUs, why you would need them and how they are being used.
Where GPUs can help you
Gaming
Whether you develop online games, build game platforms or create gaming innovations, IBM Cloud can help you deliver gaming experiences that perform and engage.

Spectral MD transforms burn care with advanced imaging and machine learning
Diagnosing the severity of burns is hard; even the most experienced doctors frequently make errors. Harnessing the power of GPUs on IBM Cloud bare metal servers, Spectral MD, Inc., increased the speed of its DeepView Wound Imaging System, enabling more accurate diagnoses that drive better outcomes for patients and lower costs for healthcare providers.
“ Thanks to the computational power of the GPU processors, we can complete in less than one day machine learning tasks that previously would have taken us up to 10 days. ”
— Jeffrey Thatcher, PhD Chief Scientist, Spectral MD
