The first for loop is constant and probably won't show much improvement if we parallelize it. As such, the major hotspot in this function is the second for loop. This is especially true since the file might be very large and we may be dealing with millions of characters!
==== Conclusion ====
We decided to go with image profiling.
There are some possible issues with working with the simple-lzw-compression-algorithm and CUDA. You cannot use the C++ string type in a kernel because CUDA does not include a device version of the C++ String library that would be able run on the GPU. Even if it was possible to use string in a kernel, it's not something you would want to do because string handles memory dynamically, which would be likely to be slow.
