Hi,
I wasn't able to attend this year Scipy Conference. My tutorial proposal was rejected and other deadline intefered with this conference date.
Will the presentation be recorded? If not, can you make the slide available?
What is your opinion on this question:
- Should other lib like NumPy/Theano/Cython/Numba base their elemwise implemention (or part of it) on dynd or minivect? I know cython and Numba do it, but it was before dynd and I don't know where dynd fit in the big picture. Do dynd reuse minivect itself?
Actually, I think the Cython branch with minivect support was in the end not merged, due to lack of interest/manpower to maintain support for vectorization in the long term (so it was better to not add the feature than have a badly supported feature). My understanding is that Numba is based on minivect and not on dynd, so it's more of a competitor. Perhaps Mark Florisson will be able to comment. Dag Sverre
