We're happy to provide a GPU-agnostic implementation of the VCSBeam core utilities. This release boasts a number of changes, including support for both NVIDIA and AMD accelerators, a more performant beamforming kernel, many bug fixes and some quality of life updates.

As always, this code base is a work in progress, and we will focus on tidying up documentation and various parts of the code in future patch releases. Happy Beamforming!
