Screws have been around for about 3 millennia at this point. They have patently failed to obviate the use of nails. So by this analogy we can expect the 'Only GPUs do the work.' believers to be still promising this, any day now, about three thousand years hence. (-:

Get the fuck out. I do write for GPU as well. One does not replace the other.

Right, and wouldn't it be really nice if we could check on our orchestrators to make sure their not bottlenecking ops?
