[Caml-list] Re : Sklml first public release

[Francois Berenger <francois.berenger@inria.fr>]

Hi,

Very cool and interesting work.

Can sklml be used to program GPUs?

I ´m a big fan of parmap; but I ´m ok to switch to anything high performance.

Also, is there an opam switch or something for sklml?

Thanks a lot for this alien technology,
Francois.
