Vscode doesn't take advantage on GPU computing power.
Feature request
VSCode should use the power of GPUs (Amd/Nvidia) to leverage additional computing power on desktop PC's.
Applications which drain a lot of resources should follow good practices and include the use of available resources (GPU too, not "only CPU") when necessary of course. OpenCL is a great framework. Please see reference at bottom page

There's no existing feature request asking for the implementation of OpenCL in Vscode
Just sometimes Vscode encounters issues, like in following cases:
the loading of multiple workspaces with multiple tabs (eg a dozen of documents) with around ~200 - 10000 lines of code each,
loading of code, which isn't recognized correctly and struggles with the "right" formatting
auto complete plugins that interfere with compiling or string completitions
So I thought (with exclusion of the latter - "plugins" which can be fixed easily by users themselves by deleting, updating or replacing such plugins), that Vscode could use more resources. But not for the simple purpose to add just "more resources" but to kick in and balance workload between GPU and CPU. So, my modern rig is bothered less when dealing with heavier processes.
