  1. …for a much more readable, and still fully transparent modern-C++ API version of the same, try this: https://github.com/eyalroz/cuda-api-wrappers/blob/master/exa... that's a sample program for my CUDA API wrappers (header-only) library.

  2. …std::span<T> and std::unique_ptr<T[]> . I wonder if that might seem less annoying to GP. --- [1] : https://github.com/eyalroz/cuda-api-wrappers/

  3. …Well, I wouldn't go that far, it's not that direct. Let's call it: "Less indirect"... [1] : https://github.com/eyalroz/cuda-api-wrappers/

  4. …about C++, while at the same time not being properly limited to C. (which is why I wrote this: https://github.com/eyalroz/cuda-api-wrappers/ ) > an awful GPU mailbox design is still the cutting-edge tech Can you elaborate on what you mean…

  5. …even though I've gotten some appreciative comments from individuals, they have shown zero interest. https://github.com/eyalroz/cuda-api-wrappers/ There is also their driver, which is supposedly "open source", but actually none of the logic…

  6. …to mix the layers. As an author of a library that also focuses on being a "layer" of sorts ( https://github.com/eyalroz/cuda-api-wrappers/ ), I struggle with this temptation a lot! Especially when, like the author says, the boundaries of…

  7. Personally, I prefer CuPy over your library. For example, your vectorAdd.cu implementation at https://github.com/eyalroz/cuda-api-wrappers/blob/master/exa... is much longer than a similar CuPy implementation: import cupy as cp vector_add =…

  8. …easiest way to interface with custom CUDA kernels In Python? Perhaps. Generally? No, it isn't. Try: https://github.com/eyalroz/cuda-api-wrappers/ Full power of the CUDA APIs including all runtime compilation options etc. (Yes, I wrote…

  10. …code. For the host-side, I would like, at some point, to take the modern-C++ CUDA API wrappers ( https://github.com/eyalroz/cuda-api-wrappers/ ) and derive from them something which supports CUDA, OpenCL and maybe HIP/ROCm. Unfortunately,…

  11. …also the Modern-C++ API wrappers, with automatic error checking, RAII resource control etc.; see: https://github.com/eyalroz/cuda-api-wrappers (due disclosure: I'm the author) 2. Implementing the _runtime_ API is not the right choice; it's…

  16. …helping the get-rich-quick "community". My own C++ wrappers for the CUDA APIs (shameless self-plug: https://github.com/eyalroz/cuda-api-wrappers/ ) would really benefit a lot from behind-the-curtains access to the driver; and even if I…

  17. …the NVIDIA side. Example of how bad: I had to write my own C++ bindings for the CUDA runtime API ( https://github.com/eyalroz/cuda-api-wrappers/ ). You'd think they would have that after 13 years of CUDA being available, right? Wrong. I…
