* Package name : libgpuarray Version : 0.0+git20160322.fc7a592 Upstream Author : Arnaud Begeron <aberge...@gmail.com> * URL : https://github.com/Theano/libgpuarray * License : ISC Programming Lang: C/Python Description : GPU tensor computation library running on OpenCL This is a library for computing arrays on the graphics adaptor (GPU) [1], which is developed closely to Theano [2]. Theano could use this as alternative to Nvidia's CUDA Toolkit. The main advantage is that this library could run on OpenCL, which makes it possible to run GPU accelerated Theano completely on free software. Although there is no official release (the docs say it's 0.2) so far it appears to be actively developed (many recent commits), and for some time now. It ships also with Cython based Python extensions, and I think it would be great to have it in Debian. The binaries are going to be libgpuarray and libgpuarray-dev, and the Python bindings are going to be python{,3}-pygpu. Thanks, Daniel Stender [1] http://deeplearning.net/software/libgpuarray/index.html [2] https://lists.debian.org/debian-science/2016/03/msg00016.html
