Abstract
Provided is a graphics processing unit and an operation method thereof. The graphics processing unit includes a plurality of cores in which a delay time between an input and an output decreases according to an increase of a temperature, a temperature monitoring and sorting circuit configured to monitor a temperature of each of the plurality of cores, and a controller configured to control a clock frequency and a power supply of the plurality of cores based on a drivable clock frequency of a core having the lowest temperature among temperatures of each of the plurality of monitored cores.
