Discussion
This meeting did not have a strict agenda. We discussed status, what issues we had, and how to address them. Here are some of the things we discussed:
-
@Bob_Carpenter updated the team on the state of the autodiff testing framework; there is an open PR. @bbbales2 to follow up with a review.
-
All of us discussed the parallel autodiff things in the works that @wds15 has been working on: PR on deisgn docs, Intel TBB, discourse threads. We had some of the discussion before @wds15 could make it, then some with @wds15.
- We will look at the Math contributions stand-alone from the design-doc perspective.
- @seantalts will work with @wds15 to get the design docs to a state that’s reviewable by the community.
- The point of the original proposal was to enable external C++ functions to be included in using CmdStan and RStan’s mechanisms.
- What was proposed was designed for both users and math devs.
-
@roualdes is continuing to work on the Flatten refactor and will get in touch with @anon79882417
-
@stevebronder discussed the OpenCL activity. @rok_cesnovar confirmed that one template type there is sufficient for a type. There’s no need to have mixed template types.
-
Intel TBB is caught up with licensing.
