Dunno. Why would you want to? You can already compute lots of stuff on GPUs.
Couple generations ago, AMD did the other way, they used GPU shader ALUs for video encoding/decoding. They stopped doing that because power efficiency is worse than custom silicon that’s now in all modern GPUs, even in mobile SoCs.
