The TimeSteward model assumes that a very large number of things do individual, relatively small computations according to the same rules. Theoretically, this is ideal for massively parallel programming.

This is a far-future goal, because the state of GPU programming support (across target platforms) is not very good currently, and there may be incompatibilities between our current implementations and GPU abilities (for instance, function pointers are not necessarily compatible with GPU control flow limitations).
