Hi,

I would like to ask what the current situation is regarding R packages
for computations on the GPU. There are no more official CRAN packages
using CUDA or OpenCL as foundation. There are only packages providing
either access to OpenCL, tensorflow or similar and packages using
directives in C++ via OpenMP.

My aim is to provide an R package using OpenCL. However, as far as I
know, such package would not run in Windows. Does CRAN accept packages
which are not compatible with every os?

Best regards
