    I've had a good experience with ILGPU: clean API, loads of samples, nice community. Apologies for a shameless plug, but I used it in one of my projects and happened to write a blog post about it: https://timiskhakov.github.io/posts/computing-the-convex-hull-on-gpu. Hope it helps!
  • Is there a way to utilize the gpu in a C# program?

    https://github.com/Sergio0694/ComputesSharp is always being recommended to me. But I also just found this one https://github.com/m4rs-mt/ILGPU which looks very interesting. There are a lot of libraries which allow you to execute on the gpu
  • Is there a way to run metal shaders on CPU threads?

    I would checkout the github for more details, or ask on the discord for more specifics, but all the kernels are compiled into IL by the C# compiler, then at runtime the ILGPU compiler converts them from IL into PTX, OpenCL, or back into IL (in a special way to maintain thread grouping and stuff). Then PTX / OpenCL /IL is compiled and run using the respective runtimes. Cuda for PTX, the OpenCL runtime for OpenCL, and .net for IL. We have talked about creating a CPU execution path that tries to match speeds with CPU code, but I do not think it is a big priority.

    I've used cudafy some years ago and it worked quite well. https://github.com/lepoco/CUDAfy.NET

    But proof me wrong tho, not saying you should stop using it. I would personally advise you to learn C++ as this might be easier to understand if you come from a OO background. But if you still want to use C# you can look for unofficial wrappers around cuda. Here are a couple of them: - http://kunzmi.github.io/managedCuda/ - https://github.com/mlivernoche/CudaSharper - https://github.com/rapiddev/CUDAfy.NET
