In an AMD APU there is both a CPU and GPU, both on the same piece of silicon. In conventional applications — in a Llano-powered laptop, for example — the CPU and GPU hardly talk to each other; the CPU does its thing, and the GPU pushes polygons. What the researchers have done is to marry the CPU and GPU together to take advantage of each core’s strengths.
