Sergio0694/ComputeSharp

ComputeSharp is a .NET library to run C# code in parallel on the GPU through DX12, D2D1, and dynamically generated HLSL compute and pixel shaders.

The library solves the problem of making GPU computing accessible to .NET developers by allowing them to write shaders directly in C# rather than requiring knowledge of HLSL. It handles the translation of C# code into HLSL compute and pixel shaders, manages GPU device access, allocates GPU buffers and textures, and orchestrates data movement between GPU and RAM. This approach eliminates the friction of learning a separate shader language while leveraging the performance benefits of GPU acceleration for parallel workloads.

ComputeSharp suits developers building Windows applications that need GPU acceleration for graphics effects, scientific simulations, audio visualizers, or image processing. The library is production-ready and particularly valuable for those already working in the .NET ecosystem who want to harness GPU power without context-switching to C++ or GLSL. It integrates with WinUI 3 and supports both compute shaders for general-purpose GPU computing and pixel shaders for graphics effects. The project is used by established applications including the Microsoft Store and Paint.NET, where it powers custom effects and graphics acceleration.

The project maintains active development with continuous integration workflows and regular package updates. Development activity shows consistent engagement with the codebase through ongoing refinement and feature additions.
