Missing README.md

[Atcold]

For dumb people like me, it would be nice having a README.md also for this repository 😉
I have no idea of how I could use this Standalone C TH library...

Hi,
Yep, it is coming soon. Basically:

• I am going to improve TH very soon
• I made TH a "git subtree" of this git in the torch7 git
• It is also a "git subtree" of torch9
  So improvements on TH can be profitable for both torch7/torch9.

Great! It would be really nice to being able to start understanding more about the core of this project 👽

| I made TH a "git subtree" of this git in the torch7 git
Doesn't that mean the commits to TH in torch7 repo automatically get pushed here?
Looks like the THDiskFile.c commit that we just pushed didn't get updated here?

[andresy]

Nope, you have to to a git subtree pull/push manually -- will do this once in a while

[soumith]

ah i see, got it.

thanks!

Re: title of this issue, I too am curious what is this repository.

[soumith]

This is just a git subtree of torch/lib/TH
Its the C library that powers torch

[soumith]

Similarly, cutorch/lib/THC powers cuda torch, again a library with a pure-C API

[hughperkins]

This is like the C/CPU implementation of Tensor, Storage etc? And then for example THC is the CUDA implementation?

[hughperkins]

Ah. Ok :-) Thanks! :-)

[Atcold]

@andresy, how's coming up the documentation? :)

[soumith]

@Atcold will come when it comes :) not much progress on documenting TH

[Atcold]

OK 😞
