Compute refers to activities, applications or workloads that require more processing resources than its memory or I/O resource requirements. Generally speaking, compute is used to describe concepts and objects geared towards computation and processing. For example, CPUs, APUs and GPUs are considered compute resources while graphics processing applications like 3-D rendering and video games are described as compute-intensive applications (source: Techopedia). Servers refer to computers that provide information to other computers on a computer network (source: Wikipedia).
