game, Cyberpunk 2077 or Starfield or whatever the latest game is when you hear this, then this is a big deal. Okay, so it says, this is just reading from the specification document, because it is actually pretty interesting, I'm not going to read all 385 pages of the document, but a little bit of an introduction might be nice. Modern processor architectures have embraced parallelism as an important pathway to increased performance. Facing technical challenges with higher clock speeds in a fixed power envelope, central processing units, that's CPUs, now improve performance by adding multiple cores. Graphics processing units, GPUs, have also evolved from fixed function rendering devices into programmable parallel processors. As today's computer systems often include highly parallel CPUs, GPUs, and other types of processors, it is important to enable software developers to take full advantage of these heterogeneous processing platforms. So that's the statement, the mission statement of (27/54)
