    Fixed up GPU work

I haven't thought about using golang to feed data to a GTX 1080 or similar, but before i do that, i'd like some info on the above, and a quick google shows that there may not be a complete wrapper for the Cuda Driver or Runtime API's like pyCuda.

Hi,

So I wrote my own CUDA wrapper. Turns out there was a bug. I'm not sure where and how, but it worked for the earlier versions of Gorgonia but not this release.

You may also note that a bunch of assembly for the float32 tensor are missing... they seem to be affected by the same bug, so what I'm doing now is I'm planning to rewrite from scratch

Did you reach out to Nvidia? It seems like they should be willing to help with putting out tested/documented bindings for more languagues.

Also, where in the repo is your wrapper? (I don't have enough knowledge to debug s.t. like that, just curious how they work)

It's not released - simply because it failed to even build properly.

No I have not reached out to nvidia. Don't have any contacts there

Why not OpenCL? With AVX2, it's quite a performer even on Xeons.

It's still lacking as highly optimized libraries like cuDNN last time I looked :/
