The Vector API and GPUs

[Kartik Ohri]

Hi all!

I understand that Java on GPU was being explored in the Project Sumatra but
the sumatra-dev mailing list looks inactive and also my question is related
to the Vector API so I am asking here. If I understand correctly, the
Vector API currently only deals with CPU SIMD. Based on this, I have the
following few questions:

1) Is the implementation of the Vector API strictly tied to CPU SIMD and
hence making it not possible to support GPUs?

2) If not, have there been any explorations in the past related to GPU
support in the Vector API ?

3) If not, are there any future plans to do so?

Regards,
Kartik
