Doug has it pretty correct here.  This is one of those areas I would 
call theoretically possible, but unlikely to be worth the trouble.  You 
would need Imagination Tech and TI to get together to release an OpenCL 
implementation for the GPU, and even then it isn't the world's fastest.

The way I look at it, you have 3 much better, easier to use options -- 
the ARM, the DSP, and the FPGA.  If you put all those to good use and 
still need more power, the GPU is not likely to contribute appreciably.
