(these notes are kind of a bit retroactive, but better late than never :-) I've just copied them from the 8.0.0rc9 notes actually...)

Native library downloads:

Python wrappers:

  • first activate the native libraries, as per the native library readme above
  • now do pip install --pre DeepCL
  • do python -c "import PyDeepCL; cl = PyDeepCL.DeepCL()" to check all is working

Changes since 5.x:

  • added clblas
  • added im2col
  • python wrappers now a thin layer around the standard native libraries, rather than having separate native library build process for python
  • lua wrappers removed (please use https://github.com/hughperkins/cltorch and https://github.com/hughperkins/clnn if you want to train convolutional neural networks using lua)
  • installation process has changed, so please follow the instructions in the readme
  • the commandline utilities are now called deepcl_train and deepcl_predict, in place of deepclrun, deepclexec, etc

(Note that 6.x only had a single release, then the clblas / build overhaul was immediately started, producing 8.x. I skipped 7.x by accident :-P )
