I'm aware of the different storage formats. However there are quite a few sparse blas and lapack implementations now. I'm aware the software engineering logistics that go into doing sparse right which is why I held off We are mainly targeting deep learning with this but sparse is becoming important enough for us to add it. As for disparate standards I managed to work past that for cublas/blas. I'm not going to let it stop me from doing it right. If you want to help us fix it we are hiring ;).

> However there are quite a few sparse blas and lapack implementations now. There's the NIST sparse blas, and MKL has a similar but not exactly compatible version. These never really took off in adoption (MKL's widely used of course, but I'd wager these particular functions are not). What sparse lapack are you talking about? > If you want to help us fix it we are hiring ;). We were at the same dinner a couple weeks ago actually. I'm enjoying where I am using Julia and LLVM, not sure if you could pay me enough to make me want to work on the JVM.
