Is it possible in the slicing? Certainly fantastic on other operations!
Seek no others out, Cura is the best!
The short and realistic answer is "no". Not without a rethinking how slicing works and rebuilding most of CuraEngine.
Using the GPU is not just a switch a programmer can turn on. A GPU is good at foing specific types of things in specific ways. GPUs are good at doing relatively simple things in parallel. In order to use the GPU you need to be able to divide a task into many of the same "subtasks" that can be executed at the same time without affecting eachother. In slicing most tasks need to be done sequentially. The toolpath that needs to be created on one layer depends on the result of slicing the previous layer.

Yes
Not so much for slicing, but for displaying the model and previewing the toolpath.
