[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #48313] gpuDeviceCount

[Mike Miller]

Update of bug #48313 (project octave):

                  Status:                    None => Wont Fix               
             Open/Closed:                    Open => Closed

Follow-up Comment #2:

I'm closing this as won't fix. Someone can reopen if they want to counter my
opinion, but I don't think this is appropriate to include in Octave.

First of all, the gpuDeviceCount function is part of Matlab's parallel
computing toolbox, *not* part of Matlab core, so by that criterion alone it
should not be included in Octave core.

If you want to try to convince Olaf that it should be added to the Forge
parallel package, feel free to do so.

Next, adding that function implies that we should add related functions like
gpuDevice, gpuArray, etc, when none of these are likely to be functional at
all.

Lastly, I don't see a point in adding placeholder functions that essentially
act as a no-op just to run some other Matlab code that calls this function. It
can easily be added as a local function file in the project you are working
with, or it can be made conditional by checking exist('gpuDeviceCount').
