{{hidden begin
|title = 1. For which kind of program can we expect improvements with GPUs?}}
<quiz display=simple>
{
|type="()"}
- serial programs
|| Correct: CPU: optimized for low latency (strong single thread); GPU: optimized for throughput (massive parallelism)
+ parallel programs
|| Wrong: CPU: optimized for low latency (strong single thread); GPU: optimized for throughput (massive parallelism)

{{hidden begin
|title = 3. Why do we expect an overhead in the GPU timings?}}
<quiz display=simple>
{
|type="()"}
- The data must be copied to an extra device first and has to be transferred back later
|| Correct, but his is not the whole answer.
- A GPU core is "weaker" than a CPU core
|| Correct, but his is not the whole answer.
- For "small" problems like the SAXPY, the whole power of a GPU is rarely used
|| Correct, but his is not the whole answer.
+ All of the above
|| Correct!
