[Rd] Max likelihood using GPU

[oyvfos]

Dear all,
Probably many of you experience long computation times when estimating large
number of parameters using maximum likelihood  with functions that reguire
numerical methods such as integration or root-finding. Maximum likelihood is
an example of paralellization that could sucessfully utilize GPU. The
general algorithm is described here:
http://openlab-mu-internal.web.cern.ch/openlab-mu-internal/03_Documents/4_Presentations/Slides/2010-list/CHEP-Maximum-likelihood-fits-on-GPUs.pdf.
Is it possible to implement this algorithm in R ? 
Kind regards, Oyvind Foshaug
