Silicon Graphics Computers are a good source to see the predecessors of GPUs. ("Starwars","Pixar Movies", "Final Fantasy 7" or CGI in Music Spots were created with Silicon Graphics Computers)
Disney utilize also big Data Centers for its animated movies.
Fluid Simulation embed highly optimized Codes. Utilize these libraries. (Matrix Mul, Deepmind 2022 from Strassen Algorithm for example.)

The physical fluid is already in analog optimized (goes the shortest path), hence researchers are trying to reconstruct with different Noise-Kernel finer granularity to shape better object models. (surface profiles of realistic textures)
> Shaders are therefore utilized. (high amount of Cache & memory, which can be regarded in acko.net)
It is an understatement, that the research in Computer Vision isn't reviewing the Retina and visual information at its fullest.

Sidenote: 'Pixels' were named by a group of researchers in Bell Labs after 1970. Meanwhile, other 'first digital photographs or even black&white photos are earlier.
Fouriertransformation is applied in Computer Graphics.
