- mananaysiempre 2y agoFor some value of “new”, anyway. I remember attending a talk on how GPU programming was cool and how GPGPU was the next big thing—in the mid 2000s, as a middle schooler. I don’t believe CUDA was a thing yet (looking at Wikipedia, the first release might have been several months later?), instead Cg and NV_fragment_program4 were the new hotness.
