*sigh* He was asking for constructive answers.

Kenan, I guess the most viable approach to go in such a direction is to look at 
something like HipHop[1] or any other PHP compilation approach.


The problem is to find an appropriate workload for the GPU.
There is high overhead involved in starting up code on a GPU and typical PHP 
workloads aren't a good match at all. At least if you stay in the Web 
app/DB-bound application area.

Best regards
Stefan
