Pus are a great platform for playing round with that co design process, because they're naturally parallel. They also have a local memory hierarchy. And so you can go ahead and get a lot of performance out of the g p. It's a very parallel machine at runs into hundreds of thousands of threads simultaneously on thousands of cutocors. If you have enough time being spent in one area, that then motive ades you to put that construction in that one area then gets a lot faster. Optimizing a program for gpu is exact with the same optimization that you want to do before you surnit into hardwords or settec strides.
