Gluing 8192 MCUs Together to Make a GPU

According to Hackaday, maker bitluni has interconnected eight thousand one hundred ninety-two CH570 microcontrollers on custom circuit boards to create a parallel processing system that mimics GPU behavior. By connecting thousands of cheap processors through custom firmware, the project achieves the kind of computational power typically reserved for dedicated graphics hardware—an unconventional but clever approach to parallel computing.
