status of sparse arrays support on gpu

[CarloLucibello]

Once JuliaGPU/CUDA.jl#1380 is merged, we should be able to have first-class support for the graph_type=:sparse. Therefore PR #66 should be revamped with latest cuda updates.

We should also keep an eye on JuliaGPU/CUDA.jl#1285

CUSPARSE support in CUDA.jl has been greatly enhanced lately.

It also offers gather and scatter functionalities. We should see how to integrate these latest changes and continue the work in #136

Looks like we will have to wait some time before the changes in CUDA.jl appear on a tagged release

Any news on this one?

I didn't try to make it work for quite some time, but I think it is still a no go since the issues linked in #220 are still open
