I believe (this is very foggy) that GPUs can implement non trivial logic on there base processing unit, so that conditionals and transcendental functions are indeed possible. Where it gets hard is when you don't have problems that can be expressed in an embarrassingly parallel manner. There are solutions there to (I believe of the message passing type), after all matrix multiplication is done on GPUs. Ga�l
