OpenCL

OpenCL C++ headers do not ship with macOS by default. This project is set up to run using a legacy version of the OpenCL API (1.1). It is running using compatibility mode to for example make kernels (cl::compatibility::make_kernel).

TODOs

• Check if the project still passes all tests on Google Colab
  • Because of the CMakeLists.txt changes
• Update Makefile to only add brew specific paths if on macOS
• Find a way to only pass the DCMAKE flags in the Makefile when on MacOS
  • Add instructions for MacOS
    • Notes on finding pyenv using cmake (Python3_FIND_VIRTUALENV)
    • OpenCL on MacOS (does not ship with C++ headers)
      • https://stackoverflow.com/a/62310665/3262054
• Two main bugs right now
  • cannot find apps folder
  • some Nonetype array error (I've seen this before, I just need to break out the debugger)
• Add fixture to tests that downloads PTB and CIFAR to a data folder to run in unit tests
