Description
I was recently hanging out with some NVIDI folks at SciPy, and we were discussing the wide range of scientific computing tools that are now supported for GPU acceleration. I didn't see any optimization libraries so i asked around and was directed to CuOpt. The libraries look awesome but it seems to be bound to linear programming (LP), including integer (ILP) and mixed-integer (MILP), as well as combinatorial problems like the Vehicle routing problem (VRP). For the foreseeable future, is the focus on supporting traditional and emerging logistics problems, or is there a plan to support methods in non-linear optimization? i am thinking the equivalent of a tool for GPU accelerated disciplined convex programming (DCP) potentially with APIs matched to CVXPY. I'd also totally understand if that would be a different project altogether; maybe you know of one? No, urgency -- but I am told you folks are the best ones to ask. Thanks in advance.

Research direction
Start by reviewing CuOpt’s current support for LP, ILP, MILP, and VRP, then compare the requested non-linear optimization and CVXPY-compatible DCP scope. Done would be a documented decision about whether this belongs in CuOpt or another project; the issue names no files or tests.
