That's an impressive thing you do.

Can't find if you're using GPGPU for (maybe some simple, but not complex?) workers or not?

We offer a C++ SDK that would allow anyone to integrate anything as a worker, as long as it speaks a simple protocol - essentially, receiving updates from the platform, and sending updates to the platform. It would be completely viable to use a GPU to do some intensive computations and send the results back as updates.

Here's an example of a custom worker: https://improbable.io/2016/04/21/create-custom-flocking-work...
