Adam & Jamie draw a MONA LISA in 80 milliseconds! at NVIDIA's Show

While it was good, please don't tell me nvidia are still banging on about this cpu vs gpu crap. Theyve already bowed down to intel on the sli isue as it is. :eek:
 
All that proves is GPU's are good at graphics, which is a fairly simply parallel processed task. But GPU's suck at following sequential computer programs, let alone anything with branches. I liked their paint cannon though:P
 
That's awesome. You know those guys just love their job to. Mythbusters is one of the best programs on TV.
 
To be honest this looked slightly strange in that, during the slow mo part, it looked like just a single wall of paint balls that had been pre-arrange to "draw" the mona-lisa when fired. There didn't appear to be anything else interfacing with the device (which I must say looked pretty cool).

It was - that was their point. They were saying that CPUs have to work in a serial fashion pumping out shot after shot whereas GPUs are massively parallel and can thus chuck out thousands of work-loads (in this instance represented by paint balls) at the same time. The CPU machine was thus just a single paint ball gun that repositioned for each shot, whilst the GPU gun one was x amount of paint ball guns all rigged up to fire at once.
