> What you're talking about is parallelisation, moving to GPU, and modern (combinatorial) methods for sparse systems, and that's fairly cutting edge, and not trivial to implement/port.

Honestly, it might be tricky, but implementing matrix operations is not rocket science either. I find it incredible that so many projects rely on NVidia's proprietary libraries for doing this on GPU. Maybe there is some secret juice that I just don't know about, but it seems to me there can't be that many optimisation shortcuts for matrix multiplications and the like that require intimate, secret knowledge of the hardware.
