The article presents a method of measuring energy consumption with the NVIDIA graphics processing unit and energy consumption in response to the number of operating units. The architecture of graphics processing unit has been considered as well as the method of energy consumption of GPU. The experiment is based on multiplication of matrices. Brief results and dependency of counting time from number of computing elements are also demonstrated. A simple way to understand the difference between a CPU and GPU is to compare how they process tasks. The CPU consists of a few cores optimized for sequential serial processing while the GPU has a massively parallel architecture consisting of thousands of smaller, more efficient cores designed for handling multiple tasks simultaneously.
