Collaborators and I built a library for numerically studying the Hubbard model (a model of condensed matter physics) using Blaze. It's great.
HOWEVER, the lack of built-in GPU support is severely limiting, and we found the third-party blaze_cuda library very difficult to get to work. Since supercomputers are increasingly accelerator-focused, this limitation a big enough impedance that we made the extremely nontrivial decision to start fresh, on top of pytorch (where we know that there are years and years of development and support for accelerators ahead), instead.
