A computing term that refers to a digital circuit capable of executing arithmetic and logical operations. The ALU is a basic element of the central processing unit of a computer, and even the simplest microprocessors carry one (for functions such as contro-lling timers). The processors found inside modern CPUs and GPUs contain capable and complex ALUs; a single compo-nent may have several ALUs.

Alternatively called Visual Processing Unit (VPU)A dedicated graphics rendering agent for a personal computer, workstation, or game console. A GPU can rest on top of a video card, or it can be incorporated directly into the motherboard in most desktop and notebook computers. Modern GPUs are very efficient at manipulating and displaying computer graphics.
