I am wondering if I should just remove the add/multiply/max/min/negate methods. Those don't seem to be useful from a julia performance standpoint at all. They just add clutter to the library, and I will eventually have to write more tests.
I wonder if we can find cases in which these outperform the obvious devectorized julia versions. -viral On Sunday, April 12, 2015 at 9:08:36 AM UTC+5:30, Viral Shah wrote: > > It would be interesting to compare the results of Yeppp with VML. > > https://github.com/simonster/VML.jl > > Kevin, thanks, I knew someone had done it, but couldn’t locate the > package.
