It’s a different set of operations for the most part, when you look into it. Drawing a 2D line or blitting a 2D sprite is quite different from texture-shading a 3D polygon. It’s not generic “number crunching”.

Ok but just because operations aren't perfectly identical doesn't mean you can't do it and it certainly doesn't mean it will be slow. I have had great success with SDL_gpu.

It's tensor ops all the way down
