It has to do with AI. There is a lot more processing going on now where large problems are set up as matrix calculations specifically so they can take advantage of the parallelism of GPUs. NVIDIA has been actively encouraging this - for some reason. getting involved with the research into frameworks like tensor flow. They can speed up some processes by 10 to 50 times - or so they claim. When you are solving a system of equations it is relatively easy to break the work up is such a way that much of it can be done in parallel and the GPU is good at that.
