  • OpenCLOn12

    The OpenCL-on-D3D12 mapping layer

    The SPIR-V OpenCL profile is suitable, the Vulkan one is much less suitable. (In the you can’t even transpile OpenCL C 1.2 to it fully, with quite heavily limited pointers…)

    Metal has the best GPGPU story of the compute APIs, with D3D12 coming second after that. Both at least can have OpenCL C transpiled without catches to them…

    Microsoft is writing CLon12 on that front: https://github.com/microsoft/OpenCLOn12
