2. Can modern GPU hardware efficiently make system calls? (if you can do this, you can eventually build just about anything, treating the CPU as just another subordinate processor).
3. At what order-of-magnitude size might being GPU-native break down? (Can CUDA dynamically load new code modules into an existing process? That used to be problematic years ago)
Thinking about what's possible, this looks like an exceptionally fun project. Congrats on working on an idea that seems crazy at first glance but seems more and more possible the more you think about it. Still it's all a gamble of whether it'll perform well enough to be worth writing applications this way.

2. Yes
3. We're still investigating the limitations. A lot of them are hardware dependent, obviously data center cards have higher limits more capability than desktop cards.
Thanks! It is super fun trailblazing and realizing more of the pieces are there than everybody expects.
