Description
We used to have a PyTorch based GPU indexing for IVF-PQ.
Now, giving that there are
We could use GPU to accelerate more algorithms during indexing.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points; start by locating the existing IVF-PQ indexing implementation and reviewing the linked CuVS IVF-PQ reference and related pull requests. Done would require a defined GPU-acceleration scope and corresponding implementation and validation, which the issue does not yet specify.
