More than you seem to think. - areas that have been commercially important, such as sorting/retrieval. - areas of growing commercial importance, such as ray tracing. - areas previously thought irretrievably sequential, such as going down a single linked list. - areas that were unvectorizable (too irregular and data dependant), such as verification of an integrated circuit's layout. - areas that were never attempted before, such as numerical work in QCD (Quantam Chromodynamics). -- Don D.C.Lindsay Carnegie Mellon Robotics Institute
