Description
The Java API currently uses a single GPU for building and searching indexes. But the hardware gets underutilized when multiple GPUs are available. This task involves exploring the possibility of utilizing multiple GPUs (if available) to optimally share the build and search workloads.

Research direction
Start with the Java API's current index-building and index-searching entry points, then document how single-GPU selection and workload use work today. Define the supported multi-GPU behavior and validation criteria before implementation; the issue is exploratory and names no files or tests.
