[Paraview] CUDA module in ParaView

[Burlen Loring]

Hi John,

Yes, I have a filter that uses cuda. I'm in progress of adding streaming 
capability to support larger datasets, and I'd have to roll back my 
current checkout to share with you which I haven't had time to do yet. 
My experience was similar to Dave's. It's very easy to use cuda from 
with PV, more challenging to use it well. I think you'll have no problem 
even without an example to work from.

It doesn't actually have to be rendering as such as my current version just renders using software into a standard memory buffer and then copies that into OpenGL prior to letting paraview composite everything. It's mostly the setup/compilation etc that I haven't tried with CUDA and would like to experiment.
