Hi all, As you may know, we now have a GSoC student working on a new backend engine for scikits.image: http://pythonimaging.blogspot.com/2011/04/gsoc2011.html One of these will be a PyOpenCL-backend, which I hope will be able to leverage this PyOpenCL-subproject: https://github.com/inducer/compyte Cheers Stéfan

Sounds great! Perhaps Pieter's blog can be added to Planet Scipy for some more exposure? Cheers, Ralf

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. For ongoing design discussions - feel free to join the list: http://lists.tiker.net/listinfo/gpundarray <http://lists.tiker.net/listinfo/gpundarray>James Bergstra On Tue, May 17, 2011 at 11:52 AM, Ralf Gommers <ralf.gommers@googlemail.com>wrote:

Just as a relevant resource for other people trying to get OpenCL savvy in a hurry, I've been watching a series of talks that Andreas Klockner gave in Jan. 2011. There are 4 one hour sessions: Lecture 1 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9mflbX1NL8 (Intro stuff) Lecture 2 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MqvfCE_bKOg (PyOpenCL) Lecture 3 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAvKmV7CuUw (Code generation) Lecture 4 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsuJ0LvZW1Q (Multi-GPU, PyCUDA) Hope it helps someone :) -Dan 2011/5/17 James Bergstra <james.bergstra@gmail.com>:

Hello group, My name is Pieter and I'll be working on improving this scikit as part of the GSOC project. Our work will mostly involve the backend and the implementation of various algorithms, but there may be lee way for additional improvements to make this scikit even more useful. Looking forward to contribute! Regards Pieter 2011/5/17 Stéfan van der Walt <stefan@sun.ac.za>:
