Editing Warp and weft (section)

==As metaphor==

The expression "warp and weft" (also "warp and woof" and "woof and warp") is used [[metaphor]]ically the way "fabric" is; e.g., "the warp and woof of a student's life" equates to "the fabric of a student's life".<ref>{{cite web |title=warp and woof |url=https://www.dictionary.com/browse/warp-and-woof |website=Dictionary.com |access-date=14 July 2023}}</ref> Warp and weft are sometimes used even more generally in literature to describe the basic dichotomy of the world we live in, as in, up/down, in/out, black/white, Sun/Moon, yin/yang, etc. The expression is also used similarly for the underlying structure upon which something is built. The terms "warp" and "woof" are also found in some English translations of the Bible in the discussion of mildews found in cloth materials in Leviticus 13:48-59.

In computing, a ''warp'' is a term for a block of parallel [[thread (computing)|threads]] executed on a [[GPU]] or similar [[SIMD]] device.
