GSOC 2021 Idea Discussion

Hello all,
I am Atharva Dubey and have been using octave for a while now. A quick
introduction about me, technically, I am quite familiar and well versed in
the field of machine learning algorithms.  I am also a parallel computing
enthusiast and have worked OpenMP, SYCL and a little bit of CUDA as well
and I am proficient with C++ as well as Python.

For GSoC 2021, I propose a machine learning library with hardware
acceleration support, for a variety of devices, let it be AMD GPUs, FPGAs
ASICs etc., etc and I propose this using SYCL. I have already started on
it(it is not quite ready yet) and you could find it here -

please let me know your feedback and whether it a good plan and how to
proceed with it.

Thanks and Regards
