LevelZero.NET

Managed .NET wrapper for Intel Level Zero GPU compute, with a built-in SPIR-V kernel catalog for swarm optimization, spiking neural networks, and multi-objective algorithms.

Features

  • Zero-config GPU access — discover and use Intel GPUs via Level Zero with a clean managed API
  • Built-in SPIR-V kernels — pre-compiled kernels for 11 Intel GPU targets (Tiger Lake through Panther Lake)
  • Kernel catalog — automatic device detection and kernel resolution with fallback chain
  • Native shim embedding — LevelZeroShim.dll / libLevelZeroShim.so extracted at runtime, no manual setup
  • High-level kernel wrappers — FitnessKernel, PSOVelocityKernel, NeuronUpdateKernel, STDPKernel, NBodyKernel, and more

Installation

dotnet add package LevelZero.NET

Quick Start

using LevelZero;

// Check GPU availability
if (LevelZeroRuntime.IsAvailable())
{
    var device = LevelZeroRuntime.GetDefaultDevice();
    Console.WriteLine($"GPU: {device}");

    // Load a SPIR-V module
    byte[] spirv = KernelCatalog.GetKernel("fitness_eval");
    using var module = device.LoadModule(spirv);

    // Allocate shared memory and launch
    using var buffer = device.AllocShared<float>(1024);
    device.Launch(module, "fitness_eval", workItems: 1024);
}

Supported GPU Targets

Codename Architecture Examples
tgllp Gen12 Intel Iris Xe (11th Gen)
dg1 Gen12 Intel Iris Xe MAX
acm-g10/g11/g12 Xe-HPG Intel Arc A-series
pvc Xe-HPC Intel Data Center GPU Max

Kernel Catalog

The KernelCatalog resolves SPIR-V binaries using this chain:

  1. Explicit file path
  2. LEVELZERO_SPIRV_DIR environment variable
  3. NuGet package content
  4. Embedded assembly resources
  5. Fallback to tgllp device target

Publishing
