    Basic GPU handles algorithms for graphics and outputs to a display. Latest GPUs have specialized instructions to handle mathematical algorithms for parallelization so the Host OS hits certain routines it executes those on the GPU getting usually 8 - 32X speedup on execution over the CPU for mathematical routines.
