Hey,
I'm slowly getting back to ViennaCL.
I have added one bullet point to the roadmap:
* Full integration of the micro-scheduler and the generator
I think that we should work towards the full integration of this feature if
we don't want to codebase to eventually get too messy.
I will be working on cleaning GEMM (i.e. better integration of the multiple
BLAS backends, and harmonize the kernels using the
column&trans<->row¬rans identity.) until I go back to France, in 1 week.
I have also noticed that the size checking could be moved upwards in the
dispatching mechanism, for now, they are duplicated between
opencl/cuda/openmp . Once this is done, I will probably work towards the
full integration of the micro-scheduler. Can we get rid of op_executor<>?
Best regards,
Philippe
