While discrete GPUs underperform wrt APU on host to/from device transfers in a
ratio of ~2X, it compensates by far the computing power and local bandwidth
~8-10X.

IMO, a coprocessor executes the same instruction stream as the
"primary" processor.
Hello All,
Is there any line/point to make distinction between accelerators and
co-processors (that are used in conjunction with the primary CPU to boost
up the performance)? or these terms can be used interchangeably?
Specifically, the word "accelerator" is used commonly with GPU. On the
other h
