- pinpeliponni 9y agoThere's no reason GC couldn't work on GPUs. No one just has bothered implementing it yet.

- marmaduke 9y agoIf you noticed, I did say numerical algorithms, for most of which it's usually easy to allocate memory in advance. I didn't mean anyone would want to do this but just that it's an interesting parallelism for a language.
