The set of accelerator families IronAccelerator can target.

Variants (Non-exhaustive)

Non-exhaustive enums could have additional variants added in future. Therefore, when matching against variants of non-exhaustive enums, an extra wildcard arm must be added to account for any future variants.

Cuda

NVIDIA CUDA (Toolkit 13.2+ targeted).

Rocm

AMD ROCm / HIP.

Metal

Apple Metal (Performance Shaders + MLX kernels).

QualcommNpu

Qualcomm AI Engine — Hexagon NPU via QNN SDK.

Cpu

CPU SIMD reference path (used as a fallback / oracle).

Vulkan

Vulkan Compute — cross-vendor GPU compute.

OpenGl

OpenGL 4.3+ compute shaders — legacy / embedded GPU fallback.

Dx12

Direct3D 12 — the Windows-native GPU API, across all vendors.

WebGpu

WebGPU in the browser — the WASM compute path.

Tpu

Google TPU (v4 / v5 / v6e) via the PJRT plugin interface.

LevelZero

Intel GPU + NPU via oneAPI Level Zero (ze_loader).

Neuron

AWS Trainium / Inferentia via the Neuron Runtime (libnrt).
