At the time the algorithm was running on one of the servers in the data centre and until recently we didn't have anything in the DC kitted out with GPUs (see http://blog.marcgravell.com/2016/05/how-i-found-cuda-or-rewr... for the reason behind that).

I'm not sure if we're planning to use GPUs for future iterations of algorithm testing; the GPUs are installed in hardware serving production traffic so it's unlikely to be used for experimental stuff like this. That said, a bunch of us just got Dell XPS-15s with the NVIDIA GTX 1050 so we can probably have a go on our local machines to get a feel for performance characteristics... watch this space, I guess!
