In three-dimensional Euclidean space, these three planes represent solutions to linear equations, and their intersection represents the set of common solutions: in this case, a unique point. The blue line is the common solution to two of these equations.
Transistor count over time, demonstrating Moore's law

Graphics processing units (GPUs) are present in many computers and designed to efficiently perform computer graphics operations, including linear algebra.

- Processor (computing)

Some processors, typically graphics processing units (GPU), are designed with a matrix structure, for optimizing the operations of linear algebra.
