You will likely particles and fluids go GPU accelerated first in any of the major packages. But first we will have to get past this GPU rendering/compositing phase.

For example, regarding sims, the Cloth modifier is a great cloth simulator, but slow and single threaded. If that ran on a GPU, that'd be sweet!
