I second the need for PetSc :) I think GLPlot's pretty good at 3D plotting btw. On Friday, January 23, 2015 at 8:21:27 AM UTC+1, anonymousnoobie wrote: ability to rotate and manipulate 3D plots would be nice On Tuesday, January 20, 2015 at 8:38:42 AM UTC-8, cormu...@mac.com wrote:

Any time, Stefan - and I wholeheartedly agree about keeping this up permanently. Speaking from experience, the issue tracker can be a little intimidating for people who want to get involved. I didn't mean to suggest any preference for CUDA over OpenCL, so I'll add a note about the latter (this

Ok, I've added an autoformat project to the list. Jake, thanks for your additions. Do we have any kind of support for R interop? I might have missed it, but if not I'll add it to the list. Also, I'm thinking that it would be great for gradual adoption if there was a good story for calling

is the emphasis on cuda over opencl just an oversight? while julia + gpu is something i am very much looking forwards to, i don't know of any reason to favour cuda at this point. there's an opencl package at https://github.com/jakebolewski/OpenCL.jl andrew On Sunday, 16 February 2014

OpenCL is definitely more open (without vendor lock-in). However, in practice, there are several aspects that make CUDA more appealing for scientific computing: - A number of mature libraries for various computation purpose: cuBLAS, cuFFT, cuRand, CULA, Magma, etc. - CUDA LLVM

2014-02-16 Thread Jake Bolewski
The libraries are not as mature but OpenCL now has an open source BLAS / FFT library from Amd and a recently updated OpenCL version of Magma so the gap is closing. All major OpenCL compilers are built on LLVM and can take advantage of this though SPIR compilation. I think a great project
