  Description     : Octave and Python toolbox of high-performance GPU primitives for 2D and 3D tomography

It supports 2D parallel and fan beam geometries, and 3D parallel and
cone beam. All of them have highly flexible source/detector positioning.

A large number of 2D and 3D algorithms are available, including FBP,
SIRT, SART, CGLS.

The basic forward and backward projection operations are
GPU-accelerated, and directly callable from Octave and Python to enable
building new algorithms.
