GPUs handle both graphics and large-scale general computing simultaneously, whereas NPUs are dedicated processors engineered to run AI computations with speed and efficiency.
The key differences and features of the two processors are follows.
| Category | GPU | NPU |
| Definition | Graphics Processing Unit | Neural Processing Unit |
| Key Role | Graphics rendering, large-scale data parallel processing | AI training and inference (Deep learning algorithms) |
| Processing Method |
Processes identical operations simultaneously using thousands of cores | Optimized for sequential AI algorithm execution (deep learning) mimicking the human brain |
| Features | Ideal for gaming, complex graphics rendering, and massive AI model training | Fast and efficient AI prediction (Inference), Low power consumption |
| Examples | Running High-end games, Large-scale AI model training | Smartphone facial recognition, Real-time translation, and Autonomous driving |


It is easy to provision, monitor, and check usage of Accelerated Server using a web-based console.
Depending on the type and size of AI workloads, users can select different accelerator types and onfigurations, such as GPUs and NPUs. Accelerated Server provides a high-performance computing environment optimized for AI workloads.
Accelerated Servers are securely protected by inbound/outbound traffic control with external Internet or other VPC through Security Group service. Real-time monitoring also support reliable operation of computing resources.
The initial setting for subnet/IP of Accelerated Server can be changed easily. NAT IP can be used/turned off based on the needs of the user, providing easy network connection.
