Thats a unique idea.You should consider the following idea to enhance your idea so that it would impact uniquely: GPU hardware and software has been evolving rapidly. CUDA versions 1.1 and higher started supporting atomic operations on device memory, and CUDA versions 1.2 and higher started supporting atomic operations on shared memory.  focuses on parallelizing applications involving reductions on GPUs. Prior to the availability of support for locking, these applications could only be parallelized using full replication, i.e., by creating a copy of the reduction object for each thread. Hover, CUDA 1.1 (1.2) onwards, use of atomic operations (on shared memory) is another option, though some effort is still required in supporting locking on floating point numbers and for supporting coarse-grained locking. Based on the tradeoffs beten locking and full replication,  also introduce a hybrid approach, in which a group of threads use atomic operations to update one copy of the reduction object. Using three data mining algorithms that follow the reduction structure — k-means clustering, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and k-nearest neighbor search (kNN),  evaluate the relative performance of these three approaches.  show how the relative performance of these techniques can vary depending upon the application and its parameters. The hybrid approach  have introduced clearly outperforms other approaches in several cases.
