Mona Lisa painted in 80 milliseconds with 1100 paintballs

Mythbusters was doing a demonstration on the differences in speed between CPU and GPU processing. To show this difference, Mythbusters rigged up two different paintball guns, one with a single-barrel shooting a single paintball over a period of time to draw a happy face, and the other, a 1100-barrel paintball gun that drew an interpretation of Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa in 80 milliseconds.

As you might have figured out, the single-barrel paintball machine was an example of CPU processing while the simultaneous 1100-barrel paintball machine was a demonstration of GPU processing. The result of the near-instantaneous paintball painting is amazing. Just watch the video above to see it.
