Enhance GPU usage about spyking-circus HOT 2 OPEN

Hm... how big an improvement over the current GPU code might realistically be achieved by a reasonably solid re-implementation? I might have some cycles for this later in the year.

Sorry for the delayed response, and thanks a lot for the proposal. This is also on our to-do list, to speed up properly the code with a GPU implementation. In fact, quite a large speedup could be expected especially in steps such as filtering and fitting. For the clustering, I'm not really sure, but maybe the computation of distances can be faster with GPU. However, this is not an easy work. One option, that I just investigated, is to use a library such as ArrayFire that provides wrapper for cuda/opencl and rather high level functions available on GPU.
