Do GPUs and TPUs for AI count towards parallelism?


I don't think so, they still tend to fall into the "Lampson further remarks that to do parallel programming, what you need to do is put all your parallelism into a little box and then have a wizard go write the code in that box." statment, for the most part.


What could be a different case is Clojure. But I am not sure, and the performance characteristics of Clojure make it well-suited for server-style concurrency, but not so much for high-performance parallelism.
