GPGPU support in VTK/ParaView is pretty bleeding edge today. Thus far vtkPiston (curtesy of LANL) is about the whole of it. vtkDax (curtesy of Sandia) is in VTK master now and will be coming to ParaView soon.
To use vtkPiston, you need to have Thrust installed and LANL's Piston source code available. Then compile ParaView from source with the Piston plugin enabled. Doing so exposes CPU<->GPU filters that send data objects to and from the accelerator, and Piston's slice, contour and threshold filters which operate on GPU resident vtkPistonDataObjects. cheers David E DeMarle Kitware, Inc.
