The abstract implies that strictly local updates are a hinderance to high res, however i would have thought there would be an interesting way to get speed up gains from neighbor-only traffic on GPUs CAM-style. am i making that up?

I think performance is not the only issue for scaling to larger grids. CUDA Convolution implementation already utilizes coalescing to improve performance. The main bottleneck is that in larger grids, cells are further apart, and it takes more steps for them to be able to communicate.
