First Iteration

This iteration is a brainstorming to find a set of interesting parallel compute algorithms and primitives. The slides explain these by example.

Second Iteration

The purpose of this iteration is to figure out the interfaces and composition of the operations. In order to quickly prove the composition to be viable and do so in an easy to understand way, this iteration was implemented in Python.

There are the following files:

• utils: Helpers for maths and nested arrays
• primitives: The operations which are not composed of other operations
• algorithms: Operations based on the primitives and other algorithms
• tests: Unit tests for all operations
