Skimming it quickly I didn’t see anything about gpu or vector instruction support as compilation targets. Is this planned? Did I miss something and this is at a higher layer?

Ps: excellent name

We currently compile to C code and use the system Compiler to compile it further. For dense loop nests it does a good job of auto-vectorizing, but we believe there’s good opportunities for doing something custom, knowing the high-level algebraic structure.

taco does not target GPUs yet, and we want to work on it this spring. It’s clearly needed, for example for neural networks
