Wow, this is really neat. I was wondering whether this is GPU optimized and not to be disappointed:
"Fragment is a collaborative cross-platform audiovisual live coding environment with pixels based real-time image-synth approach to sound synthesis, the sound synthesis is powered by pixels data produced on the graphics card by live GLSL code, everything is based on pixels!"
Now, if only there was some way to transpile existing VST/AU plugins into this platform. I've been dreaming of GPU accelerated legacy instruments and FX for a while!

The sound server itself (the link) is 100% CPU and does not use the GPU at all. One of the client application however (your description) output RGBA data generated by the GPU.
