Linux -- Vectorizing calculations for the gpu

Reference

The tinkerboard s comes with a gpu that can work with Python.  This article shows that if you can vectorize the calculation, you can perform the calculation on the gpu 100 times faster. 

This will be very useful for processing time histories of acceleration in real time.  It is also good for a Fourier analysis.  I've always wanted something better than a mere acceleration trigger for the accelerometer.  Also, you can do discrete finite difference analysis like you had a super computer.  Can't wait to do that!

My main computer has a ryzen5 and now Linux is working great.  You should be able to set up analysis on the gpu.
