good article. I would add that GPUs are particularly good for the case where you want to do the same thing to different datums in parallel. e.g. brightening every pixel of an image - you have some data, the pixels in this case, and you want to do the same thing to every datum. This is called SIMD, short for “single instruction multiple data”. this is because great instruction you give to the GPU applied to multiple pieces of data, hopefully in parallel.
