Comment on Programming on Parallel Machines: GPU, Multicore, Clusters and Moreparent

Comments

GPUs are best under SIMD conditions: single instruction, multiple data. You're talking about running `eval` thousands of times. Each unit of execution is going to have different data, because each process is executing different code (especially when you consider different branches of a conditional statement).

So, it wouldn't work that well :-)

I confusingly used 'data' in two senses there... the second was is in the sense of 'code is data'.
