[GRASS-dev] Modules for GPU-based upgrade?

[Seth Price]

I'm a student interested in a Summer of Code project to improve some  
modules with GPU-based code. In theory, this could result in a 50x  
speedup for embarrassingly parallel operations (ie. raster). There is  
a list of some possible modules for upgrade here:
http://grass.osgeo.org/wiki/GPU

What would the GRASS community think of also including these modules  
as options for improvement? Do they need a speedup? Am I missing  
anything?

- r.resamp.interp (spline & Lanczos would be added)
- r.slop.aspect
- r.texture
- i.sunhours
- i.vi

These also work out well for my thesis work (land cover  
classification), which gives me extra motivation. ;)
