True, in their case it is core pool. Another concern is that in multicore
situation the operating systems tend to use spinlocks for the threads
instead of context switching locks. This probably will lead to CPU waste if
locks are used to suspend the threads in the pool.

True, but CUDA single threaded. So you would need a threadpool per thread
that can do _paralel_
