With the advances in the manufacturing processes, the architectural features of both CPUs (red dots) and GPUs (green squares) continuously improve. This figure shows the trends for both architectures by comparing the following characteristics: (A) the performances in terms of GFLOPS when performing double precision floating point operations; (B) the power consumption; (C) the GPWR; (D) the number of cores per unit; (E) the core working frequencies. The GPUs considered in this figure are reported in Supplementary File 3, while the CPUs are the Intel Core i7 processors released in the same years (namely, from the Westmere up to the Haswell microarchitectures). A colour version of this figure is available at BIB online: https://academic.oup.com/bib.
