Description
The new ceres solver 2.1 enables using CUDA.
How can I make opensfm call ceres solver with cuda to speed up the bundle adjustment?
- I have compiled ceres solver to use CUDA in the cmake as documented in:
http://ceres-solver.org/installation.html?highlight=cuda

Research direction
Start by locating OpenSfM's bundle-adjustment entry point and its Ceres solver configuration, then compare that integration with the Ceres 2.1 CUDA installation described in the linked documentation. Determine what configuration or integration change would make bundle adjustment use the CUDA-enabled solver and how that behavior could be verified.
