opencl4py's Issues

Add support for images

Hi, I've been using this library and it is working much better for me than pyopencl. Unfortunately it seems to be lacking support for images. Has this been worked on? Are their plans to add it?

What is this - cffi?

opencl4py for FPGA

Hello,
I used to use OpenCL with FPGA, the OpenCL project has two code, the kernel and the host, the host is written in C++ but I want to use it with python, as Im new here, can I use opencl4py for that? take in account that the kernel code I compile it with SDK Altera OpenCL compiler to get the file which I use it to configure the FPGA to have Kernel. becuse I see that you writte the kernel code with host code.
Thank you in advance

Starting a dialog

Hi there,

I'm the author of PyOpenCL, which you may have heard of. I'm writing to understand your reasoning for starting this project. I found some indication here, but I'm still not completely following--if this is an issue, why not delay importing PyOpenCL until it's actually used (e.g within a function)? I don't see the motivation here to start a whole new project, with an interface that seems different just to be different...

FWIW, PyOpenCL has a cffi branch that runs on PyPy and is complete enough to run kernels. I'd be delighted to work together on that.

In any case, if you'd like to launch a competing OpenCL wrapper for Python, it's clearly not my place to be telling you how to spend your time. I'm just suggesting that we might get further by working together.

Looking forward to hearing from you,
Andreas
