GPU (Graphics Processing Unit)
A GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) is a semiconductor chip that processes large volumes of parallel computations at high speed. Originally designed for rendering graphics, its parallel computing capabilities are well-suited for AI training and inference, making it an indispensable hardware component for LLM training and fine-tuning.
NDVI
NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) is an index derived by normalizing the reflectance difference between the near-infrared band and the red band of satellite imagery, calculated as (NIR - Red) / (NIR + Red), and is used to quantitatively assess vegetation vigor and density.
