[An Intro to GPUs]

One way to measure the history of computing is by looking at where the data being processed came from:

  1. The Office Age: Waiting for the user (stuff got onto computer via your input or floppys. Helluva bottleneck) (serial was king, sprint and wait)
  2. The Gaming Age: Drawing all the time (stuff to do between input) (invention of GPU)
  3. The Network Age: Data leaves the home (social, images, etc) (everybody’s onboarded)
  4. The Analysis Age: Always processing our data (GPUs are made for this, turning data processing into videogame problems)
  5. The Services Age: (FPGA? Or do we stay generalized?)
