GPGPUs are interesting and they’re coming. There’s an interesting bit about Nvidia and AMD’s new chips here at The Inquirer. This slideshow made by Mike Houston of Stanford University does a better job of explaining why GPGPUs than Wikipedia’s page. For anyone who is IT illiterate a graphic processing unit (GPU) is the core of the part of your computer that renders graphics, and its floating point (the way a computer represents real numbers - decimals etc.) operation speed is often significantly faster (depending on the type of calculation) than the computer’s CPU.

About
In the 21st Century public debate has become fractious. It is rare that people are able to discuss their opinions and express themselves in an electronic medium. This blog sits at the cultural vanguard of post modern opinion dissemination, utilising meta-thought - via ontological artificial insemination of memes. Above all this blog aims to uphold truth, social justice, and restore broader meaning to a secular world. There is no secret project.
