Very cool, but can I suggest the `add` CPU instruction instead? Supports 64-bit numbers, and it's encoded in hardware, and no need to cross a PCIe interface into a beefy, power-hungry GPU and back again. And chances are it's cross-platform, because basically every ISA since the very first has had `add`.

I mean, yeah, no need to put a bunch of high powered cars in a circular track to watch them race really close to each other at incredible speeds, causing various hazards, either. Especially since city buses have been around for ages.

I would similarly criticise a race car being used to do a city bus' job of getting a lot of people from point A to B.

Although the converse would be interesting, racing city buses.

		Nobody has suggested using this for addition tasks in production. It's an academic exercise. What are you on about?
