It’s very very very tough to compete with the economies of scale and ecosystem with modern GPU computing.
Vector supercomputing doesn’t need to be “revived”, it is already here.
- jcbeard 9y agoDepends. Right now they're in two different spaces. One still hanging on to graphics/gaming, the other coming from dense compute space. We'll see how long it takes them to converge.
- payne92 9y agoFor all intents and purposes, they've already converged: the underlying GPU microarchitectures have been fairly general purpose SIMD-ish for a long time now. And (as one example), CUDA happily runs on any gamer "consumer" GPU.
