Performance

gollark: We're stuck on concepts like memory being a giant linear array, programs having one thread of control, and probably other things I can't think of now.
gollark: CPUs are basically just "execute C-like-code really fast" machines instead of, well, something else, like GPUs.
gollark: Kind of a shame stuff is generally just forced to map onto really outdated machines from ye olden C era.
gollark: Though this is perhaps more of an issue of programmers, languages and tooling more than hardware issues.
gollark: The thing is that the GPU isn't really integrated into normal compute use very much, even when it could probably be used effectively.
