Since you already have sample client code written in C++, you may find it
most straightforward to interface the C++ code to Octave using an "oct"
file.  
https://www.gnu.org/software/octave/doc/interpreter/Getting-Started-with-Oct_002dFiles.html

I suggest the approach of writing a callable oct file that acts as a wrapper
for your C++ client code.  That way the changes required to the existing
client code should be minimal.  I found the following paper by Daniel Kraft
helpful since it discusses the process and appropriate compiler options for
compiling the external code for use with Octave. 
http://www.domob.eu/research/OctaveGPU.pdf

I've seen Daniel post to the group recently as well.
