Actually, if I remember correctly, some time ago I read an interview with a guy that was a developer in the 1980s or 1990s (I think I got the decade right) that used their very limited graphics (compared to today) to, not only store, but do calculations.

I can not remember what they calculated but he described that their CPU was very limited for the amount of data in terms of speed, so they used their unused graphics card for bulk storage and processing.

Each (8-bit grayscale) pixel corresponded to a variable and they would write from RAM to the graphics card an entire screen (320x200?!?) at a time as a memory page. Then they would do the same operation on all pixels (variables) and read back the memory page (screen) into RAM.

I searched my browsing history but can not find the link Sigh | :sigh: . I did not bookmark it because I thought of it as just a curiosity.

I do not know if something like this would apply to your case or if reading and writing in bulk to your IoT screen would be fast enough to be useful but when you can not stretch the hardware it is time to get silly inventive Smile | :)
