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.

modeless • Oct 27, 2023 • View on HN

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

Raphael • Dec 13, 2014 • View on HN

Perhaps GPUs would fare better.

userbinator • Aug 30, 2023 • View on HN

How useful would it be as a GPU?

ssarcandy • Nov 9, 2017 • View on HN

With GPU, I think it is possible

kristopolous • Jul 27, 2024 • View on HN

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...
