### 2. Programmatic API
#### Basic Transpilation
```javascript
const { transpileCuda } = require('@cuda-wasm/core');
const cudaCode = `
__global__ void vectorAdd(float* a, float* b, float* c, int n) {
int tid = blockIdx.x * blockDim.x + threadIdx.x;
if (tid < n) {
c[tid] = a[tid] + b[tid];
}
}`;
async function main() {
const result = await transpileCuda(cudaCode, {
target: 'webgpu',
optimize: true,
profile: true
});
console.log('Generated WebGPU code:', result.code);
console.log('Compilation time:', result.profile.totalTime, 'ms');
}
```
#### TypeScript Usage
```typescript
import {
transpileCuda,
TranspileOptions,
TranspileResult
} from '@cuda-wasm/core';
const options: TranspileOptions = {
target: 'wasm',
optimize: true,
memory: {
maxBufferSize: 1024 * 1024 * 100, // 100MB
useSharedMemory: true
}
};
const result: TranspileResult = await transpileCuda(cudaCode, options);
```
#### WebGPU Integration
```javascript
const { createWebGPUKernel } = require('@cuda-wasm/core');
async function runGPUComputation() {
const kernel = await createWebGPUKernel(cudaCode);
// Set up buffers
const inputBuffer = device.createBuffer({
size: 1024 * 4, // 1024 floats
usage: GPUBufferUsage.STORAGE
});
kernel.setBuffer(0, inputBuffer);
// Dispatch computation
await kernel.dispatch(256, 1, 1); // 256 workgroups
// Read results
const result = await kernel.readBuffer(0);
}
```
### 3. Performance Analysis
```javascript
const { analyzeKernel, benchmark } = require('@cuda-wasm/core');
// Analyze kernel characteristics
const analysis = await analyzeKernel(cudaCode);
console.log('Memory pattern:', analysis.memoryPattern);
console.log('Thread utilization:', analysis.threadUtilization);
console.log('Optimization suggestions:', analysis.suggestions);
// Benchmark performance
const benchmarkResult = await benchmark(cudaCode, {
iterations: 100,
dataSizes: [1024, 4096, 16384]
});
console.log('Average execution time:', benchmarkResult.avgTime);
console.log('Throughput:', benchmarkResult.throughput, 'ops/sec');
```
