octave-ocl Reviews

Dear Matt, Thank you very much for this Matlab style GPU operation on OpenCL. This is an amazing step for the opensource and scientific communities. Brilliant! Currently, I am reading your readme file and I could feel the ease of research on all GPUs are finally coming. I will put all the stars first so that other could notice, then try on the windows based Octave and share my experience with my colleagues. Fantastic!

I'm amazed that it can be so easy to do gpu computing. I was hoping for this since years. Just installed intel-opencl-icd on Ubuntu and this package into octave and some of my matrix operations are 10x faster without much rewrite - wow! I'd like to share one pitfall I ran into. This package is not working if octave is installed as snap or flatpak. It seems that software can't access the icd system library from the package due to restrictions.
