v0.0.10

  • Many fixes to the GPU BCL based from DotNetAnywhere, including type forwarding, additional ECMA 335 metadata table types, enhancements to the memory allocation subsystem.
  • See http://campynet.com/?p=771
  • May 20, 2018

v0.0.9

  • Added support for enums.
  • Fixed a performance issue in CIL discovery.
  • Fixed type initialization in GPU BCL.
  • See http://campynet.com/?p=597 for additional information.
  • May 3, 2018

v0.0.8

  • April 18, 2018

v0.0.7

  • Implement line debugging of kernel code (4c15bda). Note, you must use the “Start CUDA debugging (legacy)” menu command of the NVIDIA Nsight debugger version 5.5. Note, I cannot get the “Next Gen” debugger to work on any program. To debug, follow the instructions for Nsight. Make sure to set a breakpoint in your C# kernel code.
  • Fixing 2D arrays (1284d27).
  • Fix “ceq” instruction code generation (75b990d). In certain situations, the compiler would generate incorrect code.

  • Fixed GCHandle.Free() of an uninitialized handle (fba9328)
  • Fixed API for memory management (4ede1e1 and others)
  • Added several examples for sorting to the unit tests (CombBitonicEven/Odd)
  • March 22, 2018

v0.0.5 (replaces v0.0.3 and 4)

  • GPU BCL
  • Basic GC
  • Reference types
  • Value types
  • March 9, 2018

    1. The old releases do not support jagged arrays. However, with the new LLVM PTX (NVIDIA GPUs) backend that I am still writing, it should. It may require some changes to the API, or a C# library that implements it that is compiled for the GPU. I do not know when the new backend will be available, but I expect several months more work.
