Tobias Grosser 82f2af3508 GPGPU: Dynamically ensure 'sufficient compute' ...

Offloading to a GPU is only beneficial if there is a sufficient amount of
compute that can be accelerated. Many kernels just have a very small number
of dynamic compute, which means GPU acceleration is not beneficial. We
compute at run-time an approximation of how many dynamic instructions will be
executed and fall back to CPU code in case this number is not sufficiently
large. To keep the run-time checking code simple, we over-approximate the
number of instructions executed in each statement by computing the volume of
the rectangular hull of its iteration space.
