is there any way to run Grasshoper on GPU instead of CPU?
Someone is working on something…

@ftzuk thanks !
I think this linked topic is somehow misleading. You can do mathematical computations with this project on the GPU. This can give you a huge performance boost for very specific and niche use-cases. But, it does not boost the whole application out-of-the-box.
You cannot run Rhino code on the GPU. Grasshopper is to a very high percentage wrapped Rhino code. So the answer is no.
And it also doesn’t make sense. Its naive to believe running code on the GPU will give a performance boost, just as assuming parallel execution on the CPU always does.
In fact the majority of operations are still the fastest to perform on a single CPU thread.
