and acts *differently* depending on that input, while a GPU performs
essentially the *same* operation to all elements of a stream (merge,

Multiple files can be parsed in parallel just with a multi-core CPU.
More parallel modules require more symbol tables etc., what limits the
amount of concurrent threads by available (cached!) memory.
