AccelerEyes announced in December 2012 that it works with Mathworks on the GPU code and has discontinued its product Jacket for MATLAB:

Answer 1

I had the pleasure of attending a talk by John, the founder of AccelerEyes. They did not get the speedup because they just removed poorly written code and replaced it with code that saved a few bits here and there. Their speedup was mostly from exploiting the availability of cache and doing a lot of operations in-memory (GPU's). Matlab relied on transferring data between GPU and CPU, if I remember correctly, and hence the speedup was crazy.
