Hi, I just saw the presentation too, and it looks impressive.

I'm hoping that you can (at some point) write a language-agnostic library, so that your work can be used in many other development tools (which are not using C++). I suppose it would amount to publishing the documentation of the intermediate code you are already using. This would also save you the trouble of writing and maintaining a GPU back-end because other people could do that using your library.

Anyway, great work!

That is a good idea, but we are only so many. One student in the Julia group is developing Julia bindings though, and we hope to make C/python bindings. The inner workings are published in the paper “The Tensor Algebra Compiler”, so it can be implemented in other languages. We like the idea of bindings because then our future work can benefit more users.
