Re: [E-devel] Proposal: OpenCL-Bindings to fasten up the core libs

[Christian K. <waf...@go...>]

my prob is that i'm known to the usage of the libs (e. g. coding an app
which uses the libs) but i'm not really familiar with the internal structure
and how it works "under the hood". especially evas seems to be damn complex.

to the note: yes thats what i thought first, too. but there could also be
some floating point optimized data types in eina and much more.
