- dfox 5y agoThe architecture is significantly different from what you would find in typical GPU. But the programming model can be considered similar to early days of GPGPU programming on hardware that was not designed for that usage (ie. no control flow instructions, just giant SIMD number crunching thing running somewhat decoupled from host computer).
- Sophistifunk 5y agoNo, early Crays were a lot more like that though.
