Everything requires many operations. Calculating the sine of a number, for instance, may require a great many operations. A normal processor will have to do each operation in the same place, whereas a GPU can do all of the processes in a different place like an assembly line. What exact calculations you have to do in what order determine how you arrange your hardware, and hardware arranged in a different order cannot do certain series of operations.
