ocl

Documentation: Release/Master | Change Log

Pure OpenCL™ bindings and interfaces for Rust.

Goals

To provide:

A simple and intuitive interface to OpenCL devices
The full functionality and power of the OpenCL API
An absolute minimum of boilerplate
Zero or virtually zero performance overhead
Thread-safe and automatic management of API pointers and resources

Usage

Ensure that an OpenCL library is installed for your platform and that clinfo or some other diagnostic command will run. Add the following to your project's Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
ocl = "0.13"

And add the following to your crate root (lib.rs or main.rs):

extern crate ocl;

Example

From examples/trivial.rs:

extern crate ocl;
use ocl::ProQue;

fn main() {
    let src = r#"
        __kernel void add(__global float* buffer, float scalar) {
            buffer[get_global_id(0)] += scalar;
        }
    "#;

    let pro_que = ProQue::builder()
        .src(src)
        .dims(1 << 20)
        .build().unwrap();

    let buffer = pro_que.create_buffer::<f32>().unwrap();

    let kernel = pro_que.create_kernel("add").unwrap()
        .arg_buf(&buffer)
        .arg_scl(10.0f32);

    kernel.enq().unwrap();

    let mut vec = vec![0.0f32; buffer.len()];
    buffer.read(&mut vec).enq().unwrap();

    println!("The value at index [{}] is now '{}'!", 200007, vec[200007]);
}

See the the remainder of examples/trivial.rs for more information about how this library leverages Rust's zero-cost abstractions to provide the full power and performance of the C API in a simple package.

What's new?

Version 0.13: The futures have arrived
New examples: async_cycles.rs, async_menagerie.rs, and async_process.rs.

Diving Deeper

Already familiar with the standard OpenCL core API? See the ocl-core crate for access to the complete feature set in the conventional API style with Rust's safety and convenience.

Version Support

OpenCL versions 1.1 and above are supported. OpenCL version 1.0 is not supported due to its inherent thread unsafety.
