I'm aware of big spreadsheets, but from what I've seen, it tends to be complex and very ad-hoc calculations that (I imagine) don't lend themselves very well to GPUs.

Making very complex tasks run well on a GPU is hard, whereas CPUs are great for dealing with that stuff.

If you have something like a 100,000 row spreadsheet where every row is doing exactly the same calculation on different input data, sure, that starts to make sense. If people are really doing that in Excel, I'm surprised! (but maybe I shouldn't be)
