Either the language of the graphics card is Turing complete and the answer is yes or the language isn't and the answer is no.
Well, a quick google for "are graphics cards turing complete?" suggests that some nVidia cards are Turing complete, but I couldnt find any reliable source (eg nvidia.com) to confirm this, and I dont know enough either to figure it out for myself, or even to confirm that this is both a necessary and sufficient condition for running Haskell. Related question: assuming temporarily that it is possible theoretically to get Haskell to run on a graphics card, to what extent would this actually be useful?
