All modern vector computer have vector functional unit with multiple parallel pipelines(lanes) that can produce two or more results per clock cycle.每條 Lane 包含:
one portion of the vector register file.*
one execution pipeline from each vector* function unit.
相較於 CPU 有更多 function units (如圖)

GPU 的 Execution Model(execution model refers to how the hardware executes the code underneath) 為 SIMT(Single Instruction, Multiple Thread) 或者稱 multithreaded SIMD, it's programmed using threads, each thread executes the same code but operates a different piece of data(如圖). 執行在同一個指令上的 threads set 被 hardware dynamically grouped into a Warp.

這時就要提到 NVIDIA 的可愛東東 –– CUDA.CUDA, Compute Unified Device Architecture, produces C/C++ for the system processor(host) and a C & C++ dialect for the GPU. 簡單來說,CUDA 就是一種架構來整合 CPU 與 GPU 的工作。以下介紹其中奧妙~
硬體架構
以下為 GPU with many cores 的架構,主要就是由 Thread Execution Manage 管理 SM 並 load/store Global memory (有關 memory 架構後面可見)。

Warp : A set of parallel CUDA Threads that execute the same instruction together in a streaming processor. It's essentially a SIMD operation formed by hardware.(如圖)Hardware 提供 warp scheduler ,從多個可用的 warps 中選擇一個準備好執行的 warp,並將其分配給可用的計算單元。
