Nails and hammers are great but most of us have moved on to screws and screwdrivers.

What good does it do to stick your head in the sand?

CPUs are great for orchestrating work, GPUs are great for actually doing the work.

>CPUs are great for orchestrating work

Right, and wouldn't it be really nice if we could check on our orchestrators to make sure their not bottlenecking ops?

Get the fuck out. I do write for GPU as well. One does not replace the other.

For high performance work, gpus have replaced cpus a long time ago.

		Not for all definitions of HPC, though. No one's doing database management on GPUs. No one's scraping data on GPUs. Can't run VMs on GPUs. Can't run web servers on GPU...
