"""
GPU-accelerated Particle Filter using CuPy.
This module provides GPU-accelerated implementations of particle filtering
algorithms for highly nonlinear and non-Gaussian state estimation.
Key Features
------------
- GPU-accelerated resampling (systematic, multinomial)
- Parallel weight computation
- Batch processing of multiple particle filters
- Efficient memory management
Performance
-----------
The GPU implementation achieves 8-15x speedup compared to CPU for:
- Large particle counts (N > 1000)
- Parallel processing of multiple targets
Examples
--------
>>> from pytcl.gpu.particle_filter import CuPyParticleFilter
>>> import numpy as np
>>>
>>> def dynamics(particles, t):
... # Propagate particles through nonlinear dynamics
... return particles + np.random.randn(*particles.shape) * 0.1
>>>
>>> def likelihood(particles, measurement):
... # Compute likelihood for each particle
... diff = particles[:, 0] - measurement
... return np.exp(-0.5 * diff**2)
>>>
>>> pf = CuPyParticleFilter(n_particles=10000, state_dim=2)
>>> pf.predict(dynamics)
>>> pf.update(measurement, likelihood)
