Yep, it is just hard coded, but to be fair there have been very few new Accelerate backends. It does pull in extra dependencies though, if you forget to add the appropriate `-f-X` flag. The type class approach you mention sounds like how the LLVM-based packages are architected. -Trev On Fri, 31 Mar 2017 at 20:46 Henning Thielemann < googlegroups@henning-thielemann.de> wrote:

I was curious how you solved the problem of addressing target specific implementations of functions like the FFT. Looking at the source code it looks like you have hard-coded a selection of back-ends. I hoped that we would be able to specify back-end capabilities via a type-class. This way the user could add more back-ends with their respective FFT implementations. Maybe that's stuff to be defered to Accelerate-2.0. :-)
