Anything can be patented, I'm afraid.

PS: You need
not worry about patents for performing an algorithm on a
processor. Especially not when the vendor supplies you with a C-like
languge for doing exactly that.
The article says quite clearly that the invention is
patented.
They would be fools not to try to patent it because the market
is huge.
I did not find any references to patents except for the word
"invention". Not even "patent pending"?

meaning to try it since the OpenGL2 shader compilers
were released.
I have had years this idea of using graphics texture functions to
generate audio noises and signals. This app runs naturally on GPU.
