Gpu.cpp
gpu.cpp ist eine leichtgewichtige C++-Bibliothek zur Ausführung von Low-Level-General-Purpose-GPU-Berechnungen über verschiedene Hardwareanbieter und Betriebssysteme hinweg. Sie fungiert als portabler GPU-Wrapper, Kernel-Orchestrator und Tensor-Managementsystem unter Verwendung der WebGPU-Spezifikation, um Geräteinitialisierung, Pufferübertragungen und Compute-Shader-Dispatching zu abstrahieren.
Die Bibliothek bietet ein Framework zur Definition von Compute-Kerneln aus Shader-Code und zur Verwaltung ihrer asynchronen Ausführung und Synchronisation. Sie ermöglicht die Ausführung plattformübergreifender Compute-Shader und die Orchestrierung von GPU-Aufgaben durch eine standardisierte Grafikprozessor-Spezifikation.
Das System handhabt den gesamten Lebenszyklus von GPU-Speicher, einschließlich der Allokation mehrdimensionaler Tensoren, bidirektionaler Datenbewegung zwischen Host und Gerät über Staging-Puffer sowie Ressourcen-Tracking zur Vermeidung von Speicherlecks. Es unterstützt zudem Tensor-Slicing zur Erstellung nicht-besitzender Views von Speichersegmenten und enthält Dienstprogramme für System-Message-Logging und Schweregrad-Filterung.
