"Data crunching" is a colloquializm, generally referring to resource-intensive data manipulations, typically of a sophisticated mathematical nature. For example, simulating the aerodynamics of a new car body might be considered data crunching, while the simple solution of Pythagors' equation would not.
"Data crunching" algorithms are generally executed by the CPU (which would be the data or number-crunching device). However, many such tasks execute on specialized equipment with dedicated, specialized hardware such as sophisticated arithmetic processing units, graphic processors or digital signal processors.
