[Jack-Devel] graph simplification using mathematics?

[Evan Laforge]

Also this is interesting: http://halide-lang.org/  It's for images,
but just take away a dimension and it looks like audio.

Audio processing can be very data parallel so I'm surprised I haven't
seen any work related to audio on a GPU.  Maybe it's not so suitable
after all.
