Comment (by davidhassell):
Hello - forwarding a comment from Chris Little that didn't make it here:
> As David mentioned me, I though it worth adding an argument for 'Multi'
types - they clarify some inherent potential parallelism in the
structures, and the structures, and their processing, are ones that map to
the parallel hardware found in GPUs. GPUs have evolved over the last 30
years to process exactly these kinds of structures.
>
> As a provocative aside, this strikes me like an "Assembler is faster
than Fortran so we stick with Assembler" kind of debate.
>
> Chris, running for cover.
