We will let you know when this is ready, Xiangdong. Let me address a part of your original question that I don't think anyone else noticed:
In my current code, the Jacobian matrix preallocated and assembled as BAIJ format. Do I have to rewrite this part of code to preallocate and assemble the matrix as AIJ in order to use aijcusparse? If you are doing your preallocation via MatXAIJSetPreallocation() and setting values via MatSetValuesBlocked() (or its variants), you can change the type to AIJ (or AIJCUSPARSE) instead of BAIJ and things should just work. (If not, let us know, as this may mean a bug in PETSc.) If you are calling MatSetFromOptions(), you should be able to do this on the command line (or otherwise through the PETSc options database) -- no code rewrites needed.

Once you finish the BAIJ GPU interface, could you please make an announcement here or in the change log? Thank you.

It should be easy to add, but we are currently refactoring the way we interface with third party GPU libraries such as cuSPARSE, and it would probably make more sense to add this support after that refactor is done. Do you need this right away, or could it wait maybe a few weeks until this is completed?

If it does then it would be reasonably straightforward for you to hook up the required interface from PETSc. If it does not then it is a massive job to provide such code and you should see if any open source packages provide such CUDA support and then you could hook PETSc up to use that.
