OpenCL backend in Java Encog 3

I posted a SO question since it seems that community is more active (4k questions vs. 76 GH issues).

Could someone please take a look?
Thanks.

I think it is hard now to catch up with tensorflow. My advice is to learn tensorflow and see how to load the models in Java.

@rjpg thank you for your candor, but I don't think that counts as a valid way to address my issue.

The simple question remains: Does Encog not support OpenCL since ver. 3, or does it? And if it does, can I see a working example of it?

OpenCL is not currently supported by Encog. GPU programming is not something I am currently working on. If someone would like to contribute something in this area, that would be great. But there is already a great deal of neural network GPU work going on in TensorFlow and Deeplearning4J, I am not going to try to duplicate that myself. Additionally, GPU programming is outside of my area of expertise.
