GPUs are massively multicore and there we see the opposite of what this article predicts or hopes would happen: grids win even more over graphs. The best graph algorithms for those chips try to turn the graph problem into a grid problem as soon as possible.
- alphaalpha101 9y agoThey're not really multicored. They're actually just big SIMD processors. The key distinction is that the article is talking about computers that have a lot of cores that can switch between threads very quickly and easily (multi-threaded machines, like giant CPUs) not about computers that have a lot of cores that all share a very small number (comparatively) of common threads (SIMD processors, like GPUs).
