GPU backend

[Firestorm-253]

any plans for a gpu backend?
this is the perfect library for what i'm trying to do (a fluid like, 2d topdown cell based evolution simulator).
i tried about 7 libraries, but none fits.
sadly i can't make use of my new gpu with this one, and i really need the comp. power for that sim.

Greetings Firestorm

@Firestorm-253 Not sure what you mean by "2d topdown cell based evolution simulator"

Hi,
We have sycl implantation (may be the GPU backend you mentioned) already. Please the see the tests_sycl and /src/src_sycl for examples and source.
However, as your simulation is quite different from from what we are doing , you need to write your own code.
To use GPU you write a method following the same style like the methods in the folder /src/shared/shared_ck.
You can test and debug you code in CPU environment using sphinxsys_ck.h and later run on GPU using sphinxsys_sycl.h
as your main header.
