Description

Currently the tug mouse mode is using the CPU platform on Windows and Linux and would be vastly faster (10-100x) if it could use CUDA. Would be nice to make it use CUDA if available, if not try OpenCL, if not that use CPU. Also the tug command could default to platforms in that order to give best performance.

So the user knows what is going on, the code might report the default platform being used the first time a tug is done (by mouse or command).
