        I suppose we reached 4096 CPU support before full screen Flash support, just in a different way. Maybe somebody who used Linux in the Flash era can comment if it ever was working well.

    How long until CPUs and GPUs just merge into one thing

      Probably never. Those 2048 cores are all separate threads. GPUs work with a cluster of cores all following a single thread of execution.

      MIMD Vs SIMD.

      You mean like an APU?

        Not OP, but I doubt that’s what he meant. An APU still has a CPU and a GPU on it as separate things.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
