Show answer
Answer
- D The GPU, because it computes in parallel with thousands of cores and is usually best for small ML projects
Explanation
CPUs provide high precision for complex operations that ML hardly needs, and only a few cores. GPUs have thousands of cores for massively parallel, simple computations and therefore usually outperform CPUs in ML, even though CPUs run at higher clock speeds. GPUs generally offer the best option for small-scale ML work.
