However, my GRASS knowledge is quite limited, so I'd be less comfortable mentoring such a project for GRASS, but would be happy to provide assistance in the details of the implementation side of things. As a rule, I prefer OpenCL over C for CUDA, but I'm as comfortable with either.

I'm sure we can find a co-mentor for the GRASS parts (I'll volunteer
if no-one else steps up ;) However I don't have GPU experience, but I
do know GRASS, and think I might be able to help there.
