    Executing on a GPU

    +

    Much of the terain genertion consists of doing the same thing for every single column or block in a chunk. This +sort of computation is much faster on a GPU as GPUs are massively parallel. High end GPUs can execute up to 30,000 +threads simultaneously, which would allow them to generate every block in three chunks in parallel.
