This is a project that combines lessons and ideas we learnt from cxxnet, minerva and purine2.

• The interface is designed in collaboration by authors of three projects.
• Nothing is yet working

• Use google c style
• Put module header in include
• Depend on dmlc-core
• Doxygen comment every function, class and variable for the module headers
  • Ref headers in dmlc-core/include
  • Use the same style as dmlc-core
• Minimize dependency, if possible only depend on dmlc-core
• Macro Guard CXX11 code by
  • Try to make interface compile when c++11 was not avaialable(but with some functionalities pieces missing)

#include <dmlc/base.h>
#if DMLC_USE_CXX11
  // c++11 code here
#endif

• Update the dependencies by

git submodule foreach --recursive git pull origin master

• For heterogenous hardware support (CPU/GPU). Hope the GPU-specific component could be isolated easily. That is too say if we use USE_CUDA macro to wrap gpu-related code, the macro should not be everywhere in the project.
