Modern GPU architectures are very much their own thing. They have more in common with Vector machines in how the ALUs are organized, but the macro control flow is more like Dataflow architectures.

- mst 5y agoTIS-100 is my current favourite puzzle game and the plethora of implementations on github plus the various community resources (including a rather good subrediit) make it even more fun. If it sounds interesting, I recommend https://alandesmet.github.io/TIS-100-Hackers-Guide/ https://alandesmet.github.io/TIS-100-Hackers-Guide/ as a starting point.
