Hi,
in the above link only some linear algebra operations were performed with GPUs. 
There is an experimental version of GPAW where GPUs are used more extensively,
available at
https://trac.fysik.dtu.dk/projects/gpaw/browser/branches/cuda

The requirements for GPU version are working CUDA environment and PyCUDA, 
http://mathema.tician.de/software/pycuda.
However, I do not think that GPU version of GPAW is ready for production use
yet.

Best regards,
Jussi
