Description

Add a pluggable backing implementation for APIs so that GPUs can be leveraged for querying. Would easily cut latency of query operations via parallelization across GPU cores. NVIDIA CUDA comes to mind. Another perhaps simpler option is to enable this as a set of compile time flags.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the public query APIs and the existing SIMD optimizations described for CRoaring. Compare a pluggable CUDA-backed implementation with compile-time flags, then define the supported GPU operations and latency benchmarks needed to demonstrate that the work is complete.
