DotCompute.Generators.Attributes

Consumer-facing attribute types for the DotCompute source generator framework.

Overview

This package provides the attributes and supporting types that consumers use to mark their methods as compute kernels. These types are automatically included when you reference DotCompute.Generators.

Attributes

KernelAttribute

Marks a static method as a compute kernel for GPU/CPU acceleration:

using DotCompute.Generators;

[Kernel(Backends = KernelBackends.Cuda | KernelBackends.Cpu)]
public static void VectorAdd(ReadOnlySpan<float> a, ReadOnlySpan<float> b, Span<float> result)
{
    int idx = Kernel.ThreadId.X;
    if (idx < result.Length)
        result[idx] = a[idx] + b[idx];
}

RingKernelAttribute

Marks a method as a persistent ring kernel for continuous GPU-resident computation:

using DotCompute.Generators;

[RingKernel(
    KernelId = "data-processor",
    Domain = RingKernelDomain.ActorModel,
    Mode = RingKernelMode.Persistent)]
public static void ProcessMessages(
    IMessageQueue<DataMessage> incoming,
    IMessageQueue<ResultMessage> outgoing)
{
    while (incoming.TryDequeue(out var msg))
    {
        // Process message...
        outgoing.Enqueue(new ResultMessage { ... });
    }
}

RingKernelMessageAttribute

Marks a type as a message for ring kernel communication:

[RingKernelMessage(Direction = MessageDirection.Input)]
public struct DataMessage
{
    public int Id;
    public float Value;
}

Enums

Enum	Description
`KernelBackends`	Target backends (Cpu, Cuda, OpenCL, Metal, All)
`BarrierScope`	Synchronization scope (ThreadBlock, Grid, Warp, Named, Tile)
`MemoryAccessPattern`	Memory access hints (Sequential, Strided, Random, Coalesced, Tiled)
`MemoryConsistencyModel`	Memory ordering (Relaxed, ReleaseAcquire, Sequential)
`OptimizationHints`	Optimization flags (AggressiveInlining, LoopUnrolling, Vectorize, etc.)
`RingKernelMode`	Execution mode (Persistent, EventDriven)
`RingKernelDomain`	Application domain (General, GraphAnalytics, SpatialSimulation, ActorModel)
`MessageDirection`	Message flow direction (Input, Output, Bidirectional)
`MessagePassingStrategy`	Communication strategy (SharedMemory, AtomicQueue, P2P, NCCL)
`RingProcessingMode`	Processing mode (Sequential, Parallel, Hybrid)

Installation

This package is automatically included when you add the DotCompute.Generators package:

dotnet add package DotCompute.Generators --version 0.6.0

Or reference directly for attribute-only usage:

dotnet add package DotCompute.Generators.Attributes --version 0.6.0
