Hi Matt, thanks again for your interest and feedback :-) Philippe mostly answered your external BLAS-related questions, We may, if at all, provide only a few partial BLAS hooks, but instead squeeze out more performance from fusing multiple BLAS calls into a single kernel. From my standpoint,

Hi Matthew, We'll have a doodle meeting pretty soon about the 1.6 release plan, feel free to register here, http://doodle.com/fbdespb57uq3r7y2, and to let us know if the times are not convenient! I had released a short patch for supporting BLAS3 from OpenBlas and CuBlas, but it turned out to requi

Karl Et al., I was looking at the roadmap for 1.6 and was most interested in the ability to leverage external blas libraries. ACML 6 is out in beta and it's the first release geared toward heterogeneous compute. I suspect major performance improvements may be possible. While thinking about this

2013-12-23 Thread Karl Rupp
Hi guys, Now as 1.5.0 is out, I spent some thoughts on the roadmap: https://github.com/viennacl/viennacl-dev/wiki/ViennaCL-Roadmap Rather than having one major update per year, I'd like to go with smaller updates (1.6.0, 1.7.0, etc.) every couple of months, with eventual bugfix and performanc
