If you've wondered why GPUs are faster than CPUs, in part it's because they're asked to do less - or, to be more precise, to be less precise. Next question: So if GPUs are faster than CPUs, why aren't GPUs the mainstream, baseline processor used in HPC server clusters? Again, in part it gets back [...]
