Description

Cupy provides GPU enabled sparse matrix implementation that has similar APIs to scipy.sparse.

I believe that only a slight modification makes sparse compatible to cupyx.scipy.sparse.
Is it in the scope of sparse's development?

The most significant problem I believe is how to prepare a testing framework. Travis does not provide gpu instance.
It looks that Cupy's development team has their own server for testing.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the issue's proposed compatibility with CuPy's sparse APIs and the project's existing test setup. The issue does not name files or tests; done would require an agreed scope for GPU support and a viable GPU testing approach, since Travis lacks GPU instances.
