Developer creates C99 tensor library with GPU acceleration

A developer has created a single-header, plain C99 tensor library that offers GPU acceleration and can rival PyTorch in performance for certain tasks. The library is designed for training various neural network architectures, including DNNs, CNNs, and LSTMs. Future development plans include adding support for OpenCL, quantization, and transformer models. AI

IMPACT Offers a lightweight, high-performance tensor library for AI development, potentially useful for embedded systems or performance-critical applications.

    Spent way too much time trying to turn `float*` into a proper tensor library. But it finally works: single-header, plain C99, GPU acceleration, capable of training DNNs, CNNs, LSTMs - sometimes even beats pytorch on performance! Still lots of things to add: OpenCL, quantisation, …
