There is an effort underway by AMD together with Oracle to bring the
ability to the Java Virtual Machine (and its reference implementation,
OpenJDK) to make direct use of the GPU.

As far as I know the work is ongoing, with AMD devs regularly
contributing to OpenJDK

But I believe this is not related at all to X.org.
