What kinds of problems lend themselves well to GPU computing?

To be more precise, the kernel should fit into the register of each multiprocessing unit (or compute unit) of the GPU. The exact size of the register is dependent on the GPU. … Otherwise even the high memory bandwidth of the GPU is not fast enough to keep the processing elements busy all the time. Usually this memory is about 16 to 32 KiByte big. …
