Thanks so much for checking this out!
Like tyoma said in the previous comment, if you had a use case where you needed to run lots of things in parallel, then this would be useful. Latency is much higher on GPUs (clock speeds are lower and memory access latencies are higher), and system call support will make this even worse, so this probably wouldn't fare well unless you had a use case that could utilize that high a degree of parallelism.

Seems like it would be good for anything you would put in a stream e.g. encryption/decryption, encode/decode, compress/decompress, parsing, filtering, routing, etc.
