"""
In this example, we investigate the construction and basic usage of
PyViennaCL's dense matrix (Matrix) and Vector types, and discuss some
important issues about integration with Python and NumPy data types, and
PyViennaCL's computational architecture.
If you are familiar with NumPy, you might need about 5 minutes to grasp the
content here. If you are not so familiar, you might need 10 minutes.

# We also need to be sure that we are consistent with respect to the data-types
# we use. For instance, we should not mix integer and floating point types.
#
# By default, PyViennaCL objects inherit the dtype of the objects from which
# they are created, or (if that is ambiguous), float64.
print("a and b have dtypes of %s and %s" %
(np.result_type(a), np.result_type(b)))

# dtypes have been mixed, but this is often ambiguous and unpredictable, and
# so it is recommended that users make efforts to keep they dtypes consistent.

# mixing native Python types with NumPy and PyViennaCL types:
z = (x + y + z) / 2.0
print("z is now of type %s, dtype %s, and with values %s"
% (type(z), np.result_type(z), z))
# Notice that z has `Div' type. This is because the z object represents the
# arithmetic expression `(x + y + z) / 2.0', and this is only computed when
# the result is needed, in order to maximise performance.
# And we can do less basic arithmetic!
