I am not really sure if. I have skimmed his paper
https://arxiv.org/pdf/1804.00746.pdf. I need more concrete things, I guess
before reasoning about DNNs. I thought to implement some Eigen::Tensor
Operations such as Broadcast(), Convolution(), etc.

However, I need some input from the boost community in what direction we
want to go and if we want to enhance the support for multidimensional
arrays, tensors, etc. We are now behind Eigen::Tensor and some other
libraries!
