The thing needed to make Proto more CUDA-friendly is the same thing that is
needed to make it AMP-friendly, in case you are familiar with C++ AMP [1].
Basically, you have to intrusively annotate every Proto function with the
"__host__ __device__" annotation (restrict(x86, amp) in the case of C++
AMP).
