Human GPU Exercises.

In 2014 I’ve seen this blog post where the author tries to mining bitcoin using pencil and paper. Of course it’s just stupid, but sometimes it’s a great method to understand how things really works.

Mining Bitcoin with pencil and paper

In the process of giving a WebGL workshop I thought: it is possible to do a similar thing for a GPU? Does it even makes sense?

I tried to give it a shot, creating the Human GPU Exercises.

La Settimana Enigmistica. Italian iconic weekly word puzzle magazine.

Aside from “classic” resources (learnopengl, webglfundamentals…), this wants to a be just a different type of approach, that maybe will give you that “aha moment”.

The exercises are made to be printed and done in old-fashion pen and paper.

This should give more time to reflect and hopefully be more focused.
