Comment GPU can be a universal turing machine (Score 2, Insightful) 292

Just as the subject says: our current GPUs can (easily) simulate any turing machine, and thus any other CPU, and in turn run all programs you may imagine.

It is done via fragment (pixel) programs (for the arithmetic instructions) and multiple 'rendering' passes (for program control). Ask Göögle if you want to know more about this interesting subject. :-)

Just my 2 cc.

Best regards,
Daniel
