Well, the ViennaCL core is mostly free from uBLAS already. By 'mostly' I mean all the parts that are fully supported for all three backends. The experimental eigenvalue routines that are only available for the OpenCL backend are the major exception. I don't recommend anybody to start there, because this requires the most knowledge of ViennaCL's internals to be migrated. > Is the intent to just use std objects such as > std::vector<std::vector<SCALARTYPE> > and doing a manual matrix > multiplication? > > Or do you intend to use another library? Given that the stable core is already uBLAS free (or at least 95%), the major work is to ditch uBLAS from the examples and tests. Many of the examples no longer need uBLAS, because the functionality is available in ViennaCL. This is the major effort in terms of lines of code touched, but it shouldn't be too hard. If something cannot be expressed directly with ViennaCL, a STL-type should be used (std::vector, std::vector<std::vector<T> >, etc.) Hope this helps a bit :-) Thanks and best regards, Karli ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ ViennaCL-devel mailing list ViennaCL-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/viennacl-devel
