This sort of computation is much faster on a GPU as GPUs are massively parallel. High end GPUs can execute up to 30,000 threads simultaneously, which would allow them to generate every block in half a chunk in parallel or every column -in over 100 chunks in parallel.</p> +in over 100 chunks in parallel.
