Definition ∞ GPU utilization measures the percentage of time a Graphics Processing Unit is actively engaged in computation. This metric indicates how effectively the GPU’s processing power is being applied to tasks. High utilization typically signifies efficient resource allocation for computationally intensive operations.
Context ∞ In the digital asset space, GPU utilization is a key performance indicator for cryptocurrency mining and AI model training on decentralized networks. Fluctuations in GPU demand and pricing directly affect the profitability of mining operations and the cost of AI computations. The ongoing shift from proof-of-work to other consensus mechanisms impacts GPU demand, while new AI applications may sustain or increase its relevance in distributed computing.
