Do you have any idea how many threads a modern GPU has?  We're talking
high three to low four digits per die...

SGI built a 51,200-core single system image Itanium cluster for NASA.
Supposedly, it runs a stock Linux kernel.

Closer to home, the Sun T2 has 64 threads per die, and there are
four-way T2 systems (256 threads) on the market already.
