Use of GPU for computation #66

Closed SchmidL closed 6 months ago

SchmidL commented 1 year ago

Hi,

I really love your plugin: simple to use but so powerful! My question was if there was an easy way to implement GPU computation (if wanted or the GPU is powerful enough). I stumbled over Numba https://numba.pydata.org/ to easily convert scripts to GPU computations, also numpy-based one. Or do you see any limitations?

Thx

Yes, that's a great idea, but it's also quite technical to code. I prefer Python/Numpy for the ease of maintenance and for further developement. I'm open for collaboration if someone would have a clean solution.
