Gpu = graphics + compute, it's more than just "GL" (graphics library). The fact that WebGL reached version 2 is hardly relevant, since it's a different API, likely to be overshadowed in some 5 years.


AMD calls their CPU with integrated Graphics APU (Accelerated Processing Units), why not thinking that forth, oh OpenAL (Audio Library) is already in use, WebAL would confuse more. We are running out of acronyms.

Throwing in some random word creations: * Processing#, * UnifiedProcessing#, * ParallelProcessing#, * Accel#,

Prefixes *: Web/Open/Lib/Imperial/Federal/Continuum

#Suffixes: Library/Hole/Sink/Chain/[not Unit (it's for Hardware)]
