gpus are good at doing very simple tasks, and cpus are good at doing very complicated tasks.

a gpu will do a simple task much faster because it has a ton of little cores that can do these tasks in parallel with eachother, and a cpu with do a couple extremely complicated tasks much faster because they have several very powerful cores.


there is much more to it than that and i'm not very educated on the subject so ask others for more info.

This is not /b/, frogposter. Take your ebin maymay garbage and get lost.

Bump.
I'm interested.

The shitton of small processors can only do a couple of tasks like matrix math. They cannot do all the general tasks a CPU can do.

This is a thing. It's called GPGPU (general purpose GPU). The people who care about it are mainly cryptocurrency miners and AI researchers.

For the longest time, you did this by constructing your math such that OpenGL thought it was actually doing graphics work. Now, NVidia is the furthest along with their CUDA framework. AMD seems to not care about GPGPU so much, which is sad given that their hardware could potentially be really great at it.

There are some limitations, and it's not as convenient as programming on a CPU, but for maximum throughput it works pretty well.
