topic As frontend we build WPF in Intel® oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler

Integration with UI

Witkowski__Stefan — Thu, 19 Dec 2019 14:52:55 GMT

Hello,

I look for some acceleration possibilities for our software, and we consider using GPU’s or FPGA’s to speed up the calculations. As frontend we build WPF Application, where we can call native dll’s with unmanaged threads. Is it some way to build dpc++ library that we could call from .net application? (In toolkit is only console template)

Or there is other better way to bind UI App with some calculation process?

Hi Stefan,

Think of a DPC++ library just like any other normal C++ library, it is possible. How you use un-managed library applies to DPC++ library too. But when you run your application, the system should meet the OS/driver requirements of DPC++ and the necessary GPU driver.

This Microsoft page contains info on how to call native APIs from managed code: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/dotnet/calling-native-functions-from-managed-code?view=vs-2019

Does that answer your question?

Your usage model is interesting. Do you need an example for it? I can file a request for that. What language are you using for the managed code?

I'm looking exactly for DPC++ library template, because in oneAPI Toolkit is only console template included.

It seems to me that you want

It seems to me that you want to use one of the template functions in the DPC++ library. is that right? could you give me an example?

I just want to have DPC++

I just want to have DPC++ library. There is no project template for it in Beta Release from Nov 2019. Or i just can't find it.
