If I read this book, would it be practical to build an Erlang VM targeting GPUs? The Erlang GPU work I've seen provides access via NIFs, but as I understand it, those are going to continue to hit the PCI-E bottleneck. I'm speculating about the feasibility of Erlang putting its "processes" onto the GPU cores, and the data staying on the GPU until it needed to do network, disk, or other OS mediated access.

If the question is ignorant, I plead guilty.
