Class MetalMathIntrinsics

Namespace

DotCompute.Backends.Metal.Compilation

Assembly

DotCompute.Backends.Metal.dll

Provides Metal Shading Language (MSL) math intrinsics support for Metal kernel compilation. Enables access to GPU-accelerated math functions using the metal:: namespace.

Remarks

Metal uses the metal:: namespace for math functions and relies on function overloading rather than type suffixes (e.g., metal::sin works for both float and half).

Fields

MathHeaderName

Gets the include name for the math header when used with Metal compilation.

public const string MathHeaderName = "metal_math_intrinsics.h"

Field Value

string

Properties

FastMathFunctions

Gets the list of supported fast math function names.

public static IReadOnlyList<string> FastMathFunctions { get; }

Property Value

IReadOnlyList<string>

MathHeader

Gets the MSL math intrinsics header content for Metal compilation. This header provides convenience macros and ensures metal math functions are available.

public static string MathHeader { get; }

Property Value

string

PreciseMathFunctions

Gets the list of supported precise math function names.

public static IReadOnlyList<string> PreciseMathFunctions { get; }

Property Value

IReadOnlyList<string>

Methods

GetTranslationMappings()

Gets the C# to MSL math function translation mappings.

public static IReadOnlyDictionary<string, string> GetTranslationMappings()

Returns

IReadOnlyDictionary<string, string>

Dictionary mapping C# math functions to MSL equivalents.

RequiresMathIntrinsics(string)

Checks if the kernel source code requires math intrinsics.

public static bool RequiresMathIntrinsics(string source)

Parameters

source string

MSL source code to analyze.

Returns

bool

True if math intrinsics are detected, false otherwise.
