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