Looks very nice. I wonder if the upcoming Xeon Phi will make the task of parallel sampling simpler. Or at least compiling and optimising automatic parallel samplers on the fly. Macros might be great for this. That's the ultimate probabilistic programming goal. Write the model and get efficient sampling for free.



Thanks. I doubt that XeonPhi would be any faster than my old AMD R9 290X, and the 10x price tag is also not inviting.
