Summary

In this chapter, we learnt that there exists other worlds beyond the CPUs: GPUs and parallel computation. We also learnt how the internals of a graphics rendering pipeline are, which parts is it composed of, and a brief understanding of their functions.

In the next chapter, we will face the details of the language that controls the pipeline; a bit of grammar, and a bit of syntax.
