Exciting work. Can I draw your attention to related ongoing work with Andreas Klochner and Frederic Bastien on the 'gpundarray' also slated for compyte? The goal is essentially to provide a c-based datatype to supersede PyOpenCL's and PyCUDA's GpuArray. This datatype would be used as the gpu-side container by PyCUDA, PyOpenCL, Theano, and hopefully other projects too. It will extend the existing GpuArray by supporting strided memory layouts like numpy's ndarray.

Hi all,
As you may know, we now have a GSoC student working on a new backend engine for scikits.image:
Sounds great! Perhaps Pieter's blog can be added to Planet Scipy for some more exposure?
Cheers, Ralf

One of these will be a PyOpenCL-backend, which I hope will be able to leverage this PyOpenCL-subproject:
