vulkanML

Dependencies:

• C++ 14
• CMake
• Vulkan SDK
• vuh (vulkan compute library)
  • git clone https://github.com/mihhaiii/vuh
  • cd vuh
  • mkdir build
  • cd build
  • cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="path/where/to/install/vuh" ..
  • cmake --build . --target install

Build & Run instructions

• git clone https://github.com/mihhaiii/vulkanML
• cd vulkanML
• mkdir build
• cd build
• cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="path/where/to/install/vuh" ..
• cmake --build .
• (windows) open vulkanML.sln, set test_project as startup project and hit F5

Important: To specify 64 bit architecture for Visual Studio add -A x64 option to the cmake generate commands above

test_project is an example project that links the vulkanML static library and uses it to make a simple MNIST inference.

To create a new project:

• create a new folder in examples/
• add to the examples/CMakeLists.txt file the following line: add_subdirectory(your_folder_name)
• add a CMakeLists.txt file in the created folder (use examples/test_project/CMakeLists.txt as an example)
  • create the executable with your .cpp and .h files with add_executable(...)
  • link the vulkanML library with target_link_libraries(...) - this will also add the necessary include directories to your project
• if you need new shaders just add them to the /shaders folder. The root CMakeLists.txt will automatically compile them at build time.
• regenerate and rebuild the solution
• (windows) open VS, set your project as the startup project and run the program
