The discussion follows GPU architecture and explains the building blocks of a GPU, with details on streaming multiprocessors (SMs), multiply-add operations, texture map units (TMUs), and so forth. This is a great opportunity to learn from an expert about GPU architecture basics, and to help demystify some of the marketing language used in the industry.
