:i needed a way to exclude transclusions: a quick hack on the whatlinkshere help page [[Help:What_links_here#Workaround_to_hide_transcluded_links]] says to use "insource" and guess what? a '''considerable portion''' of those refer to GPGPU as '''hardware'''. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=insource%3A%2F%5C%5B%5C%5BGeneral-purpose+computing+on+graphics+processing+units%5C%7C%2F&title=Special%3ASearch&profile=advanced&fulltext=1&ns0=1 [[User:Lkcl|Lkcl]] ([[User talk:Lkcl|talk]]) 12:50, 14 August 2025 (UTC)

::arrrgh one of these is the [[Nintendo_Switch]] which has used "GPGPU (hardware)" to refer to the '''internal''' hardware compute units (presumably the number of cores, or the number of specialised shader-units, or possibly even the number of [[SIMT]] Processing Elements (see [[Flynn's taxonomy|Array processor]]). bottom line the *entirety of wikipedia* is not just divided on this conflation, but there are '''page errors as well'''. this is simply too big a task for one person to fix. no idea how to go from here.

– Unnecessary disambiguation, hatnote can likely be added to link to the [[General-purpose computing on graphics processing units (hardware)|other article]] since this is a [[WP:ONEOTHER]] situation as this article was previously the primary topic. Previous [[WP:RMUM|RMUM]] move was reverted and the [[User talk:Tenshi_Hinanawi#c-Tiggerjay-20250814133900-Tenshi_Hinanawi-20250814101600|mover agreed that it should not have been reverted]].
