VUDA
VUDA is a header-only library based on Vulkan that provides a CUDA Runtime API interface for writing GPU-accelerated applications.
Documentation
VUDA is based on the Vulkan API. The functionality of VUDA conforms (as much as possible) to the specification of the CUDA runtime. For normal usage consult the reference guide for the NVIDIA CUDA Runtime API, otherwise check the VUDA wiki:
Usage
All VUDA functionality can be accessed by including vuda.hpp
and using its namespace vuda::
.
Alternatively, one can utilize vuda_runtime.hpp
which wraps and redirect all CUDA functionality.
