CI tests

[bkmgit]

Would you consider updating the CI tests to run the OpenCL and Vulkan implementations and perhaps compare to FFTW or some pre-computed transforms? For OpenCL PoCL or possibly Mesa could be used. For Vulkan llvmpipe in Mesa can be used. These are available in Ubuntu repositories:

• https://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy/mesa-opencl-icd
• https://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy/mesa-vulkan-drivers
• https://packages.ubuntu.com/jammy/libpocl-dev
  Can create a pull request implementing some of this, if of interest.

Hello,

My Travis CI credits ran out so I will need to find a better solution with more GPU vendor coverage. I want to set up my own CI server with Nvidia and AMD GPUs (I already have a machine for that) with different backends to test precision scripts 11-18 on them, but it will take some time to implement as I am now focused on finalizing VkFFT paper.

As of now, I test all precision scripts internally before uploading code to GitHub.

Best regards,
Dmitrii

Ok. Probably in the long run, testing in the cloud will be easier as the range of hardware available is wider. CPU only tests are a good first step.
