  • An example for OpenCL 3.0?
    4 projects | /r/OpenCL | 11 Mar 2023
    Please note that OpenCL consists of two parts: host API and a separate language which is used to write kernels (code which is going to be offloaded to devices). OpenCL specification describes host APIs as C-style APIs and that is what implementors has to provide. However, there are number of various libraries which provides bindings for other languages: - C++ - Python - Go - Rust

    I use Rust with OpenCL (ocl). And I am still in college studying CS. It takes a while to setup OpenCL depending on what you want to do with it. But performance benefits are well worth it. On average I can backtest 4 years of data with 1 minute candles in about 8.745 ms for typical RSI indicator. This is done on i5-3320m CPU (not iGPU). Took me a year to build it. Was also learning rust with it. My project has many features so you probably can do it in half amount of time or even less. Currently the project has 21k in Rust and 2k lines in OpenCL.

  • CUDA integration for C#
    5 projects | /r/csharp | 8 Sep 2022
    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?
    5 projects | /r/csharp | 25 Dec 2021
    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?
    1 project | /r/GraphicsProgramming | 28 Jul 2021
    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.
