  • 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.

    I think at the moment the I would use https://github.com/bheisler/RustaCUDA/ and C/C++ `.cu` files with `extern "C"` to call from Rust. Even though there are experiments to have nvptx as a compilation target for Rust.

    Once you have a compiled kernel (in Rust or CUDA C), RustaCUDA provides basic bindings to load and execute it. I haven't been maintaining or extending it for a while now since I haven't been doing GPGPU stuff, but it should still work, at least for the parts of the API that it exposes.
