Brahma.FSharp

Brahma.FSharp provides a way to utilize GPGPU in your F# programs. It is based on F# quotations to OpenCL translation.

Features

Utilization of OpenCL for communication with GPU. So, you can work not only with NVIDIA devices but with any device which supports OpenCL (e.g. with AMD ot Intel devices).
Not only primitive types, but also discriminated unions, structs, records are supported.
Pattern matching, mutable and immutable bindings, nested bindings are supported.
Custom atomics.
Fine-grained memory management and kernels compilation process.
Mailbox processor based interface for communication with devices.

More details are available here.

Installation

Install Brahma.FSharp by running:

dotnet add package Brahma.FSharp

Setup BRAHMA_OCL_PATH environment variable to opencl.dll location if it differs from default.

Quick Start

open Brahma.FSharp

let device = ClDevice.GetFirstAppropriateDevice()
let context = RuntimeContext(device)

let kernel =
    <@
        fun (range: Range1D) (buffer: int clarray) ->
            let gid = range.GlobalID0
            buffer.[gid] <- buffer.[gid] + 1
    @>

opencl {
    use! buffer = ClArray.alloc<int> 1024
    do! runCommand kernel <| fun kernel ->
        kernel
        <| Range1D(1024, 256)
        <| buffer

    return! ClArray.toHost buffer
}
|> ClTask.runSync context

### Fixed
- Blittable types transfer
- Performance issues
- Pointers to private variables are explicitly private
- Performance of blittable types
- Performance of kernels creation
- Issue #135
- Native opencl library linking
- Atomics
- ClArray memory management
- API for buffers manipulation
- Boolean type support (issue ##116, https://github.com/YaccConstructor/Brahma.FSharp/issues/116)
- Nested functions
- Complex let bindings
- ToHost behaviour on non-gpu arrays
- printf/printfn without arguments
- Boolean binary operators
- Transfer arrays of boolean
- Local memory semantic. It is forbidden to initialize variables in the local memory.
