While the conclusions of the paper ("compare optimised GPU code to optimised CPU code") is good, I'm curious about whether the difference has increased since 2010. GPUs are architecturally easier to scale up than CPUs, after all.

CPU SIMD width has increased too, both on x86-64 (AVX2) and on ARM (ARMv8 NEON).
