Hybrid computing just like FLESH-EATING bacteria

JMH · May 18, 2012

HPC blog Hybrid computing (using CPUs plus GPUs to accelerate processing speed/throughput) and necrotizing faciitis (a flesh-eating bacterial* infection) have more in common than is typically thought. Both exhibit high growth rates, and both are incredibly difficult to stop once they get started.

This story is perhaps best told via pictures. One measure of how hybrid computing has advanced is to look at its presence at the annual Supercomputing (SC) events.
