Notes
^ Known in Japan as Simple 1500 Series Vol. 69: The Putter Golf (SIMPLE 1500シリーズ Vol.69 THE パターゴルフ, Shinpuru Sen Go Hyaku Shiriizu Boryuumu Roku Juu Kyuu Za Pataa Gorufu)
gollark: > The VideoCore IV GPU, in the configuration as found in the Raspberry Pi models, has a theoretical maximum performance of 24 GPFLOS and is therefore very powerful in comparison to the host CPU. The GPU (which is located on the same chip as the CPU) has 12 cores, able of running independent instructions each, supports a SIMD vector-width of 16 elements natively and can access the RAM directly via DMA.So obviously ALL should write code for the VC4.
gollark: Good ideaeae!
gollark: How come it only has CPU architectures? It should run on GPUs too.
