gollark: GPUs use SIMD, where several thousand small cores operate on a little bit of the input data, which is very good for their high performance computing needs.
gollark: There are multiple appropriate ones for various scenarios.
gollark: They're bad at it and it would not be easier if you could just spin off new threads at random. There would also probably be issues with synchronization overhead.
gollark: No, that would cause horrible race conditions constantly.
gollark: Anyway, threads and the various synchronization primitives in C (or, well, commonly used with C?) are not a particularly good model for concurrency given the many, many bugs created through use of such things, as opposed to actor models and whatever.
