We say the world differently so let me give you an example. Whereas people were thinking they that they were building compute graphics chips or they were building computer graphics systems or they were trying to build the world's best and you could see it that their mission statement says we're going to build the world's best 3D graphics technology, we always saw it as an application problem that the goal was to make the application richer or more or enjoyable or possible in many cases and the way we express it is accelerated computing. The thing that I dropped over time is this word in front of it which is application accelerated computing and it's really about the application.
We always realized that it wasn't about the 3D graphics chip only. The 3D graphics chip and the architecture underneath and the domain-specific that we invented, OpenGL is of c.
