Line 9:
The [[Physics processing unit]] was yet another example of an attempt to fill the gap between [[CPU]] and GPU in PC hardware, however physics tends to require 32bit precision and up, whilst much lower precision can be a better tradeoff for AI. <ref>{{cite web|title="Deep Learning with Limited Numerical Precision"|url=http://jmlr.org/proceedings/papers/v37/gupta15.pdf}}</ref>
==== Rise of GPGPUs ====
After innovative software appeared using [[vertex shaders|vertex]] and [[pixel shaders]] for general purpose computation through graphics APIs (storing non image data in vertex and image arrays),
