 A GPU has a unique architecture that causes them to behave differently than a CPU. One of the most noticeable differences is that while a typical CPU has less than a dozen cores a high end GPU may have hundreds of cores. This makes them uniquely suited for data-parallel computation that can result in speedups hundreds of times more than what is capable with your average CPU. This can mean the difference between needing a whole data center to house your application versus just one or two computers, potentially saving millions in server costs.
 
-Aparapi was originally a project conceived and developed by AMD corporation. It was later abandoned by AMD and sat mostly-idle for several years. Despite this there were some failed efforts by the community to keep the project alive, but without a clear community leader no new releases ever came. Eventually we came along and rescued the project, and modernized the project. Finally after such a long wait the first Aparapi release in 5 years was published and the community continues to push forward with renewed excitement.
