And ahead of GPUs in some ways at the time. But that was entirely squandered by their idiotic recompile and run marketing. There was some serious denial that thread blocks that could synchronize without thunking back to the CPU along with the intuitive nature of warp programming were pretty much a hardware mode against anything that couldn't do the equivalent.

But good luck explaining that to technical leaders who hadn't written a line of code in over a decade and yet somehow were in charge of things. People really need to consider the backstory here if they want to do better going forward, but I don't think they will. I think history is going to rhyme again.
