• ParallelAccelerator 0.2.1

Thanks for the bug report. It seems like this issue might be specific to OpenBLAS (it's not happening on Travis, where there's no BLAS library, and it's not happening for me (I have MKL)). Does anyone know what's going on here?

[lkuper]

Unrelatedly, we probably ought to fix that scale deprecation warning.

Update (sorry for the long delay): I've done more testing with OpenBLAS and ParallelAccelerator. I've never been able to reproduce this particular problem. However, we now know of at least one case where OpenBLAS and ParallelAccelerator do not play nicely together, which may or may not have been the issue here (see #147). I'm going to close this issue for now, but if you're still having problems under the most recent Julia and ParallelAccelerator releases and the issue is not already covered by bug #147, feel free to reopen this. Thanks!
