You give me too much credit. :-P

I'm yet another student, technically in biomedical engineering 
but with a very computer-science-y mind. My experience with 
OpenCL has been limited to a few stints into some matrix 
operations and implementing that sort I linked earlier for the 
sake of a max-reduction operation found in a GPGPU implementation 
of support-vector machine classifiers. Frankly, I *hate* *hate* 
*hate* boilerplate, so I paradoxically spend all my time trying 
to get it out of the way so I never need to write it again. 
Decent for code-prettiness, horrid for deadlines. That said...

I'm hesitant to start anything new until I've cleared my plate of 
at least one of my current projects, so while I am very 
interested in jumping on this, I'm going to have to pass on doing 
anything serious with it for the next several weeks. -.-'
