Hobbyist builds GPU from 8,192 RISC-V chips
A developer created a homebrew GPU using 8,192 RISC-V microcontrollers, achieving basic graphics output. The project demonstrates the feasibility of building custom GPUs from commodity chips. The next iteration aims to scale to 32,000 MCUs for improved performance.
