Vulkan Kompute

Principles

• Non-vulkan naming convention to disambiguate Vulkan vs Kompute components
• Extends the existing vulkan API with a simpler compute-specific interface
• BYOV: Play nice with existing Vulkan applications with a bring-your-own-Vulkan design
• TODO

Getting Started

Use default equations

int main() {
    kp::Manager kManager(); // Chooses device 0 

    kp::Tensor inputOne = kManager.eval<kp::OpCreateTensor>({0, 1, 2, 3}); // Mounts to device and binds to 0
    kp::Tensor inputTwo = kManager.eval<kp::OpCreateTensor>({0, 1, 2, 3}); // Mounts to device and binds to 1

    kp::Tensor output = kManager.eval<kp::OpMult>(inputOne, inputTwo);

    std::cout << output << std::endl;
}

Create your own operation

class CustomOp : kp::BaseOperator {
    CusomOp() {
        this->mAlgorithm = kp::Algorithm("path/to/your/shader.compute.spv")
    }

    kp::Tensor init(kp::Tensor* rhs, kp::Tensor* lhs, kp::Tensor* result) override {
        this->appendParameter(kp::Parameter(rhs)); // Binding 0
        this->appendParameter(kp::Parameter(lhs)); // Binding 1
        this->appendParameter(kp::Parameter(result)); // Binding 2
    }
}

int main() {
    kp::Manager kManager(); // Chooses device 0 

    kp::Tensor inputOne; 
    kManager.eval<kp::OpCreateTensor>(&inputOne, {0, 1, 2, 3}); // Mounts to device and binds to 0

    kp::Tensor inputTwo;
    kManager.eval<kp::OpCreateTensor>(&inputTwo, {0, 1, 2, 3}); // Mounts to device and binds to 1

    kp::Tensor output;
    kManager.eval<kp::CustomOp>(&inputOne, &inputTwo, &output);

    std::cout << output << std::endl;
}

Use equations to group operations on memory and execution step

int main() {
    kp::Manager kManager(); // Chooses device 0 

    kp::Sequence sq;
    kManager.createSequence(&sq);
    //kManager.createSequence<kp::Sequence>();

    kp::Tensor inputOne; 
    sq.record<kp::OpCreateTensor>(&inputOne, {0, 1, 2, 3}); // Mounts to device and binds to 0

    kp::Tensor inputTwo;
    sq.record<kp::OpCreateTensor>(&inputTwo, {0, 1, 2, 3}); // Mounts to device and binds to 1

    kp::Tensor output;
    sq.record<kp::OpMult>(&inputOne, &inputTwo, &output);

    sq.eval();

    std::cout << output << std::endl;
}
