Aren&#x27;t GPUs a good enough example of hardware that can be programmed to do things way faster than what is possible with CPUs of the same era?<p>Also what about FPGAs? If compiling a specific program down to an FPGA is possible, what kinds of optimizations can we bring in? (I am indeed waving my hands here, but we already have had genetic-proframming optimized FPGAs for over 15 years in research.)
