    So rather than having to go to the CPU ask what's next, you just give the GPU data, package of commands(in form of algorithms, like the for loop) finish doing those then come back to the CPU for the next set?

    i assume right now it's cpu does for, gpu draws, cpu does for, gpu draws
    and what you want is cpu gives a package of stuff, gpu executes and draws

    basically, have the GPU do some of the thinking
    maybe?
