    you guys just don't get it - there's a reason why CUDA is a dialect of C/C++ and not C# and it's not because the engineers at NVIDIA have just never heard of C#.

  • Ilgpu: Write GPU programs with C# and F#

    Given IL itself is an abstract stack-based bytecode, it can be compiled to the corresponding IR, which can then target corresponding back-end - this is what ILGPU does.

    C# (and F# by extension) also allows to write system-ish code, with references to locals and same C primitives, which means that you're not sacrificing in performance by having the language be higher-level. After all, you're using ILGPUs APIs first and foremost.

    It also lets you do things like PTX assembly (learned about it today, haven't seen that sample before): https://github.com/m4rs-mt/ILGPU/blob/master/Samples/InlineP...

    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.
