v0.11.0

Release notes

• Introducing a new Python package, bh107, which is a pure Python front-end that imitate NumPy.

v0.10.2

Release notes

• User kernels https://bohrium.readthedocs.io/users/python/index.html#userkernel
• Extended the C++ interface significantly https://bohrium.readthedocs.io/users/cpp.html

v0.10.1

Release notes

• Separation of the versions of Bohrium and Bohrium API.
• Simplified how to choose where the OpenCL backend should run.
  • Set BH_OPENCL_DEVICE_NUMBER to the device number you want.
  • Run python -m bohrium_api --info to see all available devices (and their numbers).

v0.10.0

Release notes

• Major code clean up
• Divided the Python fronted (bridge) into two parts: bohrium_api and bohrium.
• Added wheel packages with Python3.7

v0.9.2

Release notes

• Implement some GPU optimizations
• Dynamic views is changed (@skjoenberg):
  • Now the sliding view information is transferred to the cxx bridge right after the view is flushed, instead of right after indexing. The sliding view information is now stored in a Python object called dynamic_view_info.
  • Sliding views now allow changes to shape between iterations
  • Sliding views now support broadcasting
  • Sliding views now support nesting sliding views (such as a=[i:i+5], b=a[i])
  • Iterators can now be in grids corresponding to nested loops. The iterators can not be mixed when indexing into the same dimension.
  • Temporary arrays now inherit the dynamic changes of the views involved in the operation

v0.9.1

Release notes

• Implemented a malloc cache, which should speedup most applications
• Implemented lossy channels in the Proxy VEM
• Implemented hstack() and friends

v0.9.0

Release notes

• Now do_while() loop, and the new for_loop() supports sliding views (@skjoenberg): http://bohrium.readthedocs.io/users/python/index.html#sliding-views-between-iterations
• Building PyPI manylinux1 packages for Python 2.7, 3.4, 3.5, and 3.6
• Building PyPI packages for Python 2.7 and 3.6 on Mac OSX 10.12 and 10.13
• The homebrew package is now deprecated
• Re-implemented signal handling -- we now use libsigsegv.

v0.8.10

Release notes

• Now Bohrium will clean up the cache folder so that total number of cache files is less than 50000 files by default.
• Bohrium now has a do_while() function to replace Python for and while loop for better performance: http://bohrium.readthedocs.io/users/python/index.html#accelerate-loops
• Added Bohrium pip packages
• Fixed np.mean()
• Re-written the C/Python API

v0.8.9

Release notes

• Now backends cache the JIT code generation, which should speedup the execution with small data sets (see #436).

v0.8.8

Release notes

• Implemented a proxy component, which makes it possible to send array operations to a backend server over TCP/IP.
• convolve() and correlate() now works on pure numpy arrays as well as bohrium array.
• Now using a simpler fuser in special cases, which significantly reduce the fusion overhead (issue #425).
