Native feature parity items

[subversive-owl]

I'm curious what the current list of items needed to catch native up to the current feature set is, across all the repositories. (My ulterior motive here is not having CUDA-compatible hardware right now.)

This would help provide a reference implementation on vanilla machines that can be used to check against the OpenCL or CUDA implementations in case hardware or framework bugs show up there.

I think there is only one thing that really lacks native impl - backpropagation for convolution for native for arbitrary dimensions, although one could split up those dimensions to simplify / split the task

ok, thanks! i'll take a stab at it and see if i can get the existing juice-examples running natively.

Any progress, anything I can help with?

[subversive-owl]

Testing right now

it's very slow on my machine, but mnist is running!

Slow execution speeds were expected, but yay to actually having working code :+1:
