"me too". Debian's GPU support is in general somewhat underdone, partly due to cuda's historical nonfreeness.
Improving our GPU support is a good theme for a GSOC project.Hypre has some GPU support, good to improve and test its activation. I think PETSc might have some too.
If we get it running well, we'll start wanting to have debci GPU testing too to be sure it continues to work. Might be possible to build upon my GSOC project last year with Nikolaos Chatzikonstantinou for that step, though good also if debian's own CI infrastructure can cover GPU.
