Hi Oswin, > I am currently investigating whether ViennaCL can be used as a possible > GPU backend for our linear Algebra as part of the Machine Learning > Library Shark.

Unfortunately, C++ template metaprogramming is not very friendly to exchanging library interfaces at this point, free functions would be a lot easier. > Therefore my question: > In case i run into trouble at some point, can I ask here for some help > on how to do it in a ViennaCL > compatible way? Sure, that's what the mailinglists are for :-) If you have a bunch of smaller questions which require back&forth, we can also meet in the #viennaCL IRC channel at freenode if you want. Just let me know when to turn up.
