Emu is a high-level language for programming GPUs. Unlike other languages such as OpenCL or Halide that are designed for embedding in C or C++, Emu is designed for embedding in Rust. It provides a single procedural macro for writing functions. The macro translates the functions at compile time into lower-level code so that they can be run on the GPU.
Emu also provides several features that aim to make programming GPUs more accessible such as built-in mathematical and physical constants, unit annotation and implicit conversion. Here are some example functions...
emu! {
// more particles
more_particles(num_particles u32, num_moles u32) u32 {
return num_particles + num_moles * L;
}
// moves particles
move_particles(global_particles_x [f32], global_particles_y [f32], global_particles_z [f32]) {
global_particles_z[get_global_id(0)] += 7.3e1 as nm;
global_particles_x[get_global_id(0)] += 2 as cm;
global_particles_y[get_global_id(0)] += 6 as cm;
}
// moves particles in circle
rotate_particles(global_particles_r [f32]) {
global_particles_r[get_global_id(0)] += 7.5 * TAU;
}
// multiplies 2 matrices
// n is the dimension of the matrices
// a and b are the matrices to be multiplied, c is the result
multiply_matrices(n i32, global_a [f32], global_b [f32], global_c [f32]) {
// indices of cells to multiply
let i: i32 = get_global_id(0);
let j: i32 = get_global_id(1);
// execute step of multiplication
for k in 0..n {
global_c[i * n + j] += global_a[i * n + k] * global_b[k * n + j];
}
}
