GPU support would make a big difference.

A GPU implementation would be cool.

Surely not with GPUs? Could you direct me to them please?

fulafel Jun 21, 2018 View on HN

GPUs are sadly not generally usable yet.

No GPUs? I hope they have a plan for GPUs.

Perhaps GPUs would fare better.

How useful would it be as a GPU?

ssarcandy Nov 9, 2017 View on HN

With GPU, I think it is possible

No. Look at the implementation. Gpu isn't going to give you huge gains in this one

An Nvidia GPU with CUDA would've been nice...
