Saw the DOOM raycast demo at bottom of page.

Can't wait for someone to build a DOOM that runs entirely on GPU!

Depends entirely on your definition of 'entirely', but https://github.com/jhuber6/doomgeneric is pretty much a direct compilation of the DOOM C source for GPU compute. The CPU is necessary to read keyboard input and present frame data to the screen, but all the logic runs on the GPU.
