Exciting work.  Can I draw your attention to related ongoing work with Andreas Klochner and Frederic Bastien on the &#39;gpundarray&#39; also slated for compyte?<div><br></div><div>The goal is essentially to provide a c-based datatype to supersede PyOpenCL&#39;s and PyCUDA&#39;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&#39;s ndarray.</div>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
As you may know, we now have a GSoC student working on a new backend<br>
engine for scikits.image:<br></blockquote></div><div><br>Sounds great! Perhaps Pieter&#39;s blog can be added to Planet Scipy for some more exposure?<br><br>Cheers,<br><font color="#888888">Ralf<br><br></font></div><div class="im">

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