Hey,

so today I'll try to show you how to calculate mathematical operations on your GPU using Cuda(on Nvidia), or OpenCL(on Ati/Intel). We're using "Cudafy.Net" to achive this. I have made a simple Example on which you can see how it works.

Code explanation:

Our "whole" Code:

PHP Code:

using Cudafy;
using Cudafy.Host;
using Cudafy.Translator; 


PHP Code:

private void btn_gpu_en_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            CudafyModes.Target = eGPUType.OpenCL;
            CudafyModes.DeviceId = 0;
            CudafyTranslator.Language = eLanguage.OpenCL;
            try
            {
                GPGPU gpu = CudafyHost.GetDevice(CudafyModes.Target, CudafyModes.DeviceId);
                CudafyModule km = CudafyTranslator.Cudafy();
                gpu.LoadModule(km);
                Stopwatch sw = new Stopwatch();
                int c;
                int[] dev_c = gpu.Allocate<int>();
                sw.Start();
                gpu.Launch().encrypt(Convert.ToInt32(numericUpDown1.Value), dev_c);
                gpu.CopyFromDevice(dev_c, out c);
                sw.Stop();
                txt_gpu.Text = c.ToString();
                lbl_gpu_status.Text = sw.ElapsedMilliseconds.ToString() + " msec";
            }
            catch { }
        } 


and:

PHP Code:

[Cudafy]
        public static void encrypt(int max, int[] c)
        {
            int a = 8919259;
            int b = 8915159;
            int i = 0;
            int y = 0;
            int i_ = max;
            while (i != 99999999)
            {
                while (i_ != 0)
                {
                    y = ((a * b) / 8) * 555;
                    i_--;
                }
                i++;
            }
            c[0] = y;
        } 


So the only thing I'll explain is:

PHP Code:

private void btn_gpu_en_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            CudafyModes.Target = eGPUType.OpenCL;
            CudafyModes.DeviceId = 0;
            CudafyTranslator.Language = eLanguage.OpenCL;
            try
            {
                GPGPU gpu = CudafyHost.GetDevice(CudafyModes.Target, CudafyModes.DeviceId);
                CudafyModule km = CudafyTranslator.Cudafy();
                gpu.LoadModule(km);
                Stopwatch sw = new Stopwatch();
                int c;
                int[] dev_c = gpu.Allocate<int>();
                sw.Start();
                gpu.Launch().encrypt(Convert.ToInt32(numericUpDown1.Value), dev_c);
                gpu.CopyFromDevice(dev_c, out c);
                sw.Stop();
                txt_gpu.Text = c.ToString();
                lbl_gpu_status.Text = sw.ElapsedMilliseconds.ToString() + " msec";
            }
            catch { }
        } 


The Rest should be selfexplaining.

PHP Code:

CudafyModes.Target = eGPUType.OpenCL;
CudafyModes.DeviceId = 0;
CudafyTranslator.Language = eLanguage.OpenCL; 


With this Code you Define the Target to OpenCL, not to CUDA or emulator, if you are just using a Nvidia Card change both OpenCL to CUDA.
You map the DeviceId 0, the first device.
And define the Language your C# Code will be translated to OpenCL, if you are using Cuda, it should be of course translated to Cuda

PHP Code:

GPGPU gpu = CudafyHost.GetDevice(CudafyModes.Target, CudafyModes.DeviceId);
CudafyModule km = CudafyTranslator.Cudafy();
gpu.LoadModule(km); 


1. Defines a new Gpu, the mapped target 0.
2. Defines a new Module, in this case the Translator.
3. The in Step 1. defined Gpu Loads the in Step 2. defined Module.

PHP Code:

gpu.Launch().encrypt(Convert.ToInt32(numericUpDown1.Value), dev_c);
gpu.CopyFromDevice(dev_c, out c); 


1. Launches our Void.
2. Extracts the Output of our Void to "c".

The rest should be self explaining, if you have any Questions feel free to ask

This is pretty interesting, I'd like to see a practical implementation of this in newer releases.

C# is a dear language for me. And this is a great tutorial. I knew about this, and i know it's useful, so what should i say? GJ and keep HQ work up!

Thank you very much for replying )

Great, I will come back to this when I do some more stuff with this language.
