Massive parallelization is in right now
- rbanffy 2y agoI often think what an Amiga for today would look like, something different from the computers we usually have. One with just a GPU-like processor doing everything, exploiting massive software parallelism instead of dedicated chips would fit this description.
- dartos 2y agoI think you’d still need a CPU. The way GPUs and CPUs work are so different. I’d be surprised if you could have a usable computer with just GPUs without turning it into a CPU or having it effectively be single threaded.
- rbanffy 2y agoKind of. Remember the RPis are brought up by their GPU before the ARM cores become active.
