The GP5 has a fairly exotic architecture, resembling neither a GPU nor a DSP, and leverages massive fine-grained and coarse-grained parallelism. It is deeply pipelined. The different algorithmic tasks involved in performing belief propagation updates are performed by independent, heterogeneous

compute units. The performance of the chip is governed by the structure of the machine learning workload being evaluated. In typical cases, the GP5 is roughly 100 times faster and 100 times more energy efficient than a single core of a modern

It is designed to run as a co-processor with another controller (such as a CPU (x86) or an ARM/MIPS/Tensilica core). It was developed as the culmination of DARPA's Analog Logic program
