BTCCollider generates BTC p2pkh address pair (and their corresponding private keys) that share the same prefix. It looks for a pair of distinct HASH160 starting with the same bits (a partial collision) using the so called "distinguished point" method which allows to efficiently take benefit of the birthday paradox using parallel calculations. BTCCollider supports multi GPU using CUDA and is based on VanitySearch enigne.
On my hardware ( GTX 1050 Ti without CPU ):

Install CUDA SDK and open BTCCollider.sln in Visual C++ 2017.
You may need to reset your Windows SDK version in project properties.
In Build->Configuration Manager, select the Release configuration.
Build and enjoy.
Note: The current release has been compiled with CUDA SDK 10.0, if you have a different release of the CUDA SDK, you may need to update CUDA SDK paths in BTCCollider.vcxproj using a text editor. The current nvcc option are set up to architecture starting at 3.0 capability, for older hardware, add the desired compute capabilities to the list in GPUEngine.cu properties, CUDA C/C++, Device, Code Generation.
Install CUDA SDK.
Depending on the CUDA SDK version and on your Linux distribution you may need to install an older g++ (just for the CUDA SDK).
Edit the makefile and set up the good CUDA SDK path and appropriate compiler for nvcc.
CUDA = /usr/local/cuda-8.0
CXXCUDA = /usr/bin/g++-4.8
You can enter a list of architecture (refer to nvcc documentation) if you have several GPU with different architecture. Compute capability 2.0 (Fermi) is deprecated for recent CUDA SDK.
BTCCollider need to be compiled and linked with a recent gcc (>=7). The current release has been compiled with gcc 7.3.0.
Go to the BTCCollider directory. ccap is the desired compute capability.
$ g++ -v
gcc version 7.3.0 (Ubuntu 7.3.0-27ubuntu1~18.04)
$ make all (for build without CUDA support)
or
$ make gpu=1 ccap=20 all

This picture illustrates the overhead you get according to the number of random walks running in parallel and the number of distinguished bits. All experimental points (red points) are averaged over 1000 collisions. The green curve is the natural average of the birthday paradox without using DP method (DP0). The total number of iteration is the total number of evaluation of the F function of all walks. Significant overhead of memory and time (>10%) appears when dp > n/2 - log2(nbWalk) - 3, for n bits collision. BTCCollider compute DP using the following code, DP can be set manually using -d option:
int optimalDP = (int)((double)colSize / 2.0 - log2((double)totalRW) - 2);
The following plots in blue show the asymtotic functions: sqrt(PI/2 * 2^40) + m*2^dp where m is the number of walk.
