come, come. Implementing something mathematically non-trivial on a GPU for 
the 1st time is still
publishable research, although not in mathematics, but somewhere in between 
mathematics and CS.
See e.g. Communications of ACM to see highlights of this sort of research.
And most people who do good implementations appreciate the maintainability 
of code they write.
