Description

For the GPU version, we need to call it in one go, to avoid forward projecting small amounts, but for the CPU version that isn't necessary. This would prevent overheads with subsets.

However, this would need a fair amount of work in the implementation.

Research direction

Start by locating the CPU and GPU implementations of parallelproj and compare how each handles forward projection and subsets. Confirm the CPU path can avoid forwarding the entire project at once without changing reconstruction results, then run the relevant existing tests or benchmarks to verify reduced subset overhead.
