Tycho Grouwstra commented on SPARK-3785:
----------------------------------------

>> For idea B, we need to write CUDA code

>> The motivation of idea 2 is to avoid writing hardware-dependent code

I thought that unlike CUDA OpenCL could be run on GPU as well as CPU?
(That being said I'm under the impression CUDA is generally at the bleeding 
edge of innovation, so no objections here regardless.)
