ILGPU
A JIT compiler for writing high-performance GPU programs in .NET languages like C#, offering CUDA-level performance with C# convenience.
What is ILGPU?
ILGPU is a JIT compiler that allows developers to write high-performance GPU programs using .NET languages like C#. It translates .NET Intermediate Language (IL) code into optimized GPU kernels, enabling GPU acceleration without leaving the .NET ecosystem. The project solves the problem of accessing GPU computing power from managed languages while maintaining performance comparable to native CUDA programs.
.NET developers and researchers who need to accelerate computational workloads using GPUs but want to work within the familiar C#/.NET environment. It's particularly useful for those building scientific computing, machine learning, or data processing applications.
Developers choose ILGPU because it provides CUDA-level GPU performance while offering the productivity and safety of C#. Unlike other solutions, it requires no native dependencies, supports debugging on CPU, and includes a standard algorithms library—all while allowing use of standard C# functions and value types in kernels.
