Re: [Boost-users] [boost] Boost.Compute v0.1 Released

Hi Kyle

Good point. That FAQ entry was written before VexCL added its CUDA back-end (which occurred relatively recently). Boost.Compute and VexCL have different aims and scopes. Boost.Compute is more similar to the C++ STL while VexCL is more similar to a linear algebra library like Eigen. Also see this StackOverflow question [1] entitled "Differences between VexCL, Thrust, and Boost.Compute".

Thank you for the information. - Rhys
