Yes, we are actively working on this. We are using aparapi:

Riunning the JBT optimization on he high end GPU (AMD Radeon 7900 series)
indicates a speedup in the order of 1000 times faster. The big drawback is
that it required a complete re-write of the multiple JBT classes,
essentially flattening the object-oriented model into array processing of
this type:

final float inA[] = .... // get a float array of data from somewhere
final float inB[] = .... // get a float array of data from somewhere
(inA.length==inB.length)
final float result = new float[inA.length];

for (int i=0; i<array.length; i++){
    result[i]=intA[i]+inB[i];
}

What kind of speed up do you get with CUDA/NVidia? How much
modifications to the JBT code did it require?
