I have done some basic GPU programming, and I think that parsing is not
a parallel task in that sense. The parser reads the input as a stream of tokens;
you can't split the C file at some arbitrary point in half and
parse both parts independently.
Any thoughts you might have on:
(a) parsing-using-GPUs, and
(b) recasting-the-parsing-problem-into-an-arithmetic-problem
The parser reads the input as a stream of
tokens; you can't split the C file at some arbitrary point in half and
parse both parts independently.
Look up Aaron Hsu's Ph.D thesis,
A data parallel compiler hosted on the GPU

Of course you can split asm/C/C++/Go/Python/Rust/etc file at arbitrary points:
when the state of the lexical analyzer collapses to a single
state starting from a random file position with an arbitrary starting
state.
Hi Folks,
I am reading a book [1] on machine learning and the book says some pretty interesting things:
"In the search for more speed, machine learning researchers started taking advantage of special hardware found in some computers, originally designed to improve graphics performance. You may have heard these called graphics cards.
I hate getting overly involved in this, but not only is GPU lexing
possible, it probably isn't that complicated.
