Holy crap. Am I reading this correctly? Is this really a patent for running learning algorithms on the GPU?

I don't see how the patent office didn't just google for 30 seconds...

Maybe the patent has interesting twists and turns, but applying known algorithms on previously known architectures doesn't seem like the innovation that they should hand out protection for 17 years.
