Lib Sh is a metaprogramming language for programmable GPUs. Programmable GPUs are graphics processing units which allow almost arbitrary effects to be executed with extreme efficiency in the GPU rather than the CPU. In practice, this offloads a lot of graphical processing to specialized hardware rather than software and allows the graphics card to be treated as a general-purpose secondary processor.
Status
