As we can see from the graph, the execution cost is only 6%, which suggests that if we have a lot of tasks with relatively less execution cost, it is better to assign these jobs to either GPU or ASIC to save power and maximize throughput. On the other hand, if we have really complex serial task we can assign this kind of task to CPU to minimize latency.

Since GPU have more arithmetic logic than control and instruction supply unit, running an instruction on GPU would be more cost effective if the same instruction can run on multiple data.
