This package was developed to provide simple to use R functions that leverage the power of GPU's but also retain a format familiar to the R user. There are a hand full of other R packages that provide some GPU functionality but nearly all rely on a CUDA backend thereby restricting the user to NVIDIA GPU hardware. In the spirit of being as broadly applicable as possible, this GPU code herein relies upon OpenCL via the ViennaCL library.
OpenCL, in contrast to CUDA, is open source and can be used across different graphics cards (e.g. NVIDIA, AMD, Intel). This package removes the complex code needed for GPU computing and provides easier to use functions to apply on R objects.
