Chapter 1

1. The three options to increase the performance are as follows:
   • Having faster clock speed
   • More work per clock cycle by a single processor
   • Many small processors that can work in parallel. This option is used by GPU to improve performance.
2. True
3. CPUs are designed to improve latency and GPUs are designed to improve Throughput.
4. The car will take 4 hours to reach the destination but it can only accommodate 5 persons, while the bus that can accommodate 40 persons takes 6 hours to reach the destination. The bus can transport 6.66 persons per hour, while the car can transport 1.2 persons per hour. Thus, car has better latency, and bus has better throughput.
5. Image is nothing but a two dimensional array. Most of the computer vision applications involve processing of these two-dimensional arrays. It involves similar operations on a large amount of data, which can be efficiently...
