  • VkFFT

    Vulkan/CUDA/HIP/OpenCL/Level Zero/Metal Fast Fourier Transform library

    Project mention: [P] - VkFFT now supports quad precision (double-double) FFT computation on GPU | /r/MachineLearning | 2023-09-27

    Hello, I am the creator of the VkFFT - GPU Fast Fourier Transform library for Vulkan/CUDA/HIP/OpenCL/Level Zero and Metal. In the latest update, I have added support for quad-precision double-double emulation for FFT calculation on most modern GPUs. I understand that modern ML is going in the opposite low-precision direction, but I still think that it may be useful to have this functionality at least for some prototyping and development of concepts.

  • ogre-next

    Hello, Dear ImGui: unleash your creativity in app development and prototyping

    Project mention: Deploy multi-platform applications with C++ (desktop, mobile and web). An example with Dear ImGui | /r/cpp | 2023-12-11

    When developing my library (based on Dear ImGui), I designed a collection of cmake functions dedicated to help deploy assets, convert icons, and configure application deployment settings. It is currently tailored for my library, but I believe it might serve as a valuable inspiration.

  • metal-cpp

    Metal-cpp is a low-overhead C++ interface for Metal that helps developers add Metal functionality to graphics apps, games, and game engines that are written in C++.

    Project mention: Nitro: A fast, lightweight 3MB inference server with OpenAI-Compatible API | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-05

    My understanding is the proliferation of “XYZ-cpp” AI frameworks is due to the c++ support in Apple’s gpu library ‘Metal’, and the popularity of apple silicon for inference (and there are a few technical reasons for this): https://developer.apple.com/metal/cpp/
