I would think so, especially since it would allow more people to contribute.

Would OpenCL be a better direction than pure GPU?

I've asked on the OpenCV forum how they have approached this.  There are a 
number of options.

I would love to discuss how we would go about making NuPIC parallel. We could 
really use the boost in bandwidth, especially as we approach the future. If we 
could easily refactor the C++ implementation to use the graphics card, that 
could enable applying the CLA to problems that require low latency computation.

HI Chetan,

I can certainly do that in the next couple of months. If we could find an 
answer to this, then i can make some progress towards this in a massively 
parallel and async way. ;)

As far as i am aware, OpenCV is completely thread safe. Maybe we could take 
some inspiration from there.

Regards,

Daniel

Daniel,

Great question! I'm not entirely sure, but I just wanted to say that it would 
be great if someone experimented with parallelizing NuPIC :)

Hello,

I am interested in the progress of this project. From the activity on the 
mailing lists, i can see that the next few months will be very interesting as 
more material becomes available. I am yet to download and install due to time 
restrictions on my current workload.

My intention is to use this project within my application once it is in a more 
stable state.  When designing my application i am attempting to use a large 
amount multi-threading and so i want to know what considerations i will need to 
think about.

How thread safe are the C++ bindings? What aspects would require locking for 
async tasks.

My application will lean toward detection and classification problems for 2D 
matrices.

Regards,

Daniel
