Summary

Currently, the neighbor stat is conducted in CPUs. It is slower than that on GPUs, but we do not have GPU implementation.

Detailed Description

The current neighbor stat code is

_max_nbor_size, _min_nbor_dist = op_module.neighbor_stat(
place_holders["coord"],
t_type,
t_natoms,
place_holders["box"],
place_holders["default_mesh"],
rcut=self.rcut,
)

Ideally, parallelism in the dimension of the frames is also required to handle many structures.

Fix #2619.

The GPU implementation in this PR is usually faster than the CPU in one
thread (i.e., not using the feature implemented in #1624). Still, it
needs parallelism in the batch dimension, which is blocked by #2618,
regarding building the neighbor list. The GPU utilization is less than
10% for the water system. It should be improved when #2618 makes
progress.
