You can find examples of video encoding apps that leverage the GPU. Coding such is very advanced so I must keep my answers simple. If you want to write such a thing, then, as a programmer you know how to research how to do this.

GPU are more powerful and can be used along with CPU fr running multi thread programs.But only for some programs not for all.To execute an application on(GPU,CPU) simply add programs in your code.This approach is acceptable if your code is not complicated.You can also use GPU through other middleware.
