What Curtiss-Wright Defense works on
GPUs
A GPU, or graphics processing unit, is a chip with thousands of small cores that can run the same operation on a lot of data at the same time. It was first built to draw images in games. The same design suits any job that applies simple maths to large arrays of numbers.
AI Accelerators
An AI accelerator is a chip, or a part of a chip, designed to run machine learning faster or with less energy than a general-purpose processor. The category includes GPUs, TPUs, neural processing units (NPUs) and chips from many startups.
