What people say. Recommended for understanding GPU internal memory layout and execution models.

On “My laptop has a GPU that just 'sits there', is there a way to harness its power for faster compilations/executions?”

If after compilation there are large arrays of data which then have the same operations performed on each of their elements, then and only then are gpus really useful. Check out this video link to this video

On “Just polished up my custom engine, +60% simulation speed, +150% draw speed! Using OpenGL 4.3, simulating 700k rigid bodies, fluid, coupling the simulations, addig artificial life with evolution at 40 FPS on my not so current RX 550”

Thank you! The main speed gain comes from understanding GPU internal memory layout and execution model. I recommend this series, this is for an older version of CUDA but OpenGL, Vulkan and CUDA are just like programming languages. Like C and Rust they are different but doing the same thing and they will compile to the same target. If Godot has any GPU compute shader language (I dont know) then it will expose the same hardware in basically the same way. link to this video The series is from part A to part F if I remember correctly.
