Thanks Olubodun! I think really know as much as it may seem. I am mainly a curious guy and a popularizer. I take a lot of bits and pieces of what other more knowledgable people than me write and try to both make sense of it as well as make a simpler version of it.

Writing this story was very much my own process in trying to understand GPU architectures better. I start with a lot of assumptions about how things work.

Then as I write explanations I Google to verify that what I am writing is correct. A lot of the time I disover that my understanding was wrong. So I make a new refined assumption about how things work. As I try to write that new explanation down I try to verify that by Googling.

So it is this iterative process of trying to go from being very wrong about how things work to be increasingly less wrong. Writing and trying to explain something to another person is a very powerful way of learning.

Or just drawing diagrams. Whenever I draw diagrams, they help me realize what parts I don't really understand.
