Optimize memory use on GPUs #328

Description

@pdziekan

Some thrust algorithms allocate temporary memory (probably not a complete list):

  • sort (_by_key too)
  • reduce (_by_key too)
  • merge
  • scan
  • accumulate
  • remove_if

We could make them use our own temporary buffers (tmp_device_real_ etc.).
Some direction how this could be done:
