[[Vision processing unit]] or '''VPU''' is a processing unit that is responsible for [[image recognition]]. The architecture of VPU is very different from the traditional [[CPU]]. Its power consumption when recognizing images and faces is far lower than that of regular CPUs. VPU is designed specifically to handle the numerous simultaneous processes involved in [[neural network]]s.
