gollark: Oh, and because of the whole inefficient SVG format it would be an overly large SVG.
gollark: Most of the high-power stuff like that is task-specific and only really usable for multiplying big matrices by vectors, and such.
gollark: It would be nontrivial to make something render SVGs on so much computing power without ridiculous overhead/waste.
gollark: Well, according to estimates, my brain would require about an exaflop/s of computing power to run.
gollark: > It is similar in concept to SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics) but much simpler. Compared to SVG Tiny, which isn't actually tiny, it does not have features for text, multimedia, interactivity, linking, scripting, animation, XSLT, DOM, combination with raster graphics such as JPEG formatted textures, etc.
