Subject: using gpu's to accelerate the linux kernel

is it possible?

id write it but im an amatuer and i dont have time to read the kernel
source and experiment, we're talking about nvidia and amd video cards
assisting in processing heavy data.

lets say youre compiling a kernel, you can write optimizations into
the kernel through a cuda module and offload cpu data directly to the
gpu using opencl or cuda or what amd supplies, i think gpus are
extremely diligent at processing data and i think theyre speedy, its
almost like buying a second cpu for your computer or device

you can try making module that speeds up the kernel or write it into
the kernel, or hopefully write it into the open source modules for amd
and nvidia

hope this helps everyone
