[[Vision processing unit]] or '''VPU''' is a processing unit that is responsible for [[image recognition]]. The architecture of VPU is very different from the traditional [[CPU]]. Its power consumption when recognizing images and faces is far lower than that of regular CPUs. VPU is designed specifically to handle the numerous simultaneous processes involved in [[neural network]]s. 

The [[Myriad 2|Myriad 2 MA2450]]  is a VPU by [[Movidius]]. On January 28, 2016, Google announced that they signed a deal with Movidius to put the [[Myriad 2]] in future Google devices. Google has previously used the processors in [[Project Tango]] devices.
