definition of dot

As implemented, afnumpy.dot differs from the standard numpy definition

http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy/reference/generated/numpy.dot.html#numpy.dot

is this intentional?

[FilipeMaia]

It's certainly not intentional.
What happened was that only the current functionality was requested and so that implemented. If you need the rest I can look into implementing it.
Or if you wish to submit a pull request to implement it that would be even better 😉.

Thanks. I'll do that and probably a bit more. There still seems to be quite a bit missing if the target is that this package should be a "drop-in" replacement for numpy. But what I have seen so far looks great. Is there a possibility that afnumpy could become part of the ArrayFire distribution? Note: I am also using and comparing gnumpy based on CUDAmat. I'd be glad to discuss this further.

There definitely is a lot missing. I started afnumpy as I needed a quick and easy way to do some simple calculations with the GPU, so I did what I required first. But it should be relatively straightforward to implement many other functions, specially those that ArrayFire already does. I don't think ArrayFire is interested in including afnumpy but maybe @pavanky can chime in.

BTW about gnumpy, I don't know much about it, but I was attracted to ArrayFire because of its ability to run on a variety of hardware.
