Hybridizer Basic Samples Versions Save

fix project templates in Visual Studio extension

We conducted a lot of changes at the same time. We encourage you to open bugs if you see any inapropriate behavior.

• dropped CUDA < 10.0
• support CUDA 10.0, 10.1, 11.6, 11.7
• dropped visual studio < 15
• support visual studio 2015, 2017, 2019 and 2022 (warning, C++ model migrated to C++14, so old visual Studio might not be able to compile some source code)
• dropped AVX as we reserve it for paid customer
• dropped linux support (see below)

We introduce a MAJOR BREAKING CHANGE with licenses :

• no more 3 month limitation
• no more unique machine ID
• now a license can be used forever on any machine you like

LINUX: we used to publish a binary named hybridizer-cuda which is now removed. Indeed, we will instead focus on .netcore integration for

• linux and other platform support
• easier cli integration

fix #85 extended support for NPP

• NPP partial support
• minor bug fixes

• CUDA 10.1
• Visual 2019
• more generic functions
• bug fixes
• clang 8 (better AVX512 support)

New in this release :

• [experimental] generic functions
• [experimental] cooperative_groups (no multi device sync)
• [CUDA only] pass virtual function as argument (ldvirtftn opcode)
• [CUDA only] complete support of is/as keywords (requires type conversion support in hybridizer options)
• documentation website
• add SingleStaticAssignment attribute - for types which must be assigned immediately after declaration, such as thread_block.
• more options for script version of hybridizer (relocatable device code, additional libraries for jitter, intrinsics, etc)

Bug fixes:

• fix atomicExpr C# implementation
• ICustomMarshaller didn't marshal memory back to host
• removal of hybdelegate, replaced by hybaction and hybfunc everywhere
• static methods of generic types can be marshalled

Minor release -- mostly bugfixes.

• better cufft support
• multiple bugfixes about delegates and marshalling
• bugfix in the windows service (renew license was hanging forever for some unknown reason)
• move to c++14 as default standard (required because of "auto return type" feature, which we use for delegates)

There is a bug (#71) in the CUDA 10.0 samples. It's now fixed in the master branch.

• Func<> improvements : support of ldvirtftn : we can now pass a virtual function as parameter
• AtomicExpr<> : invoke any Func<T, T, T> where T is int/long/float/double Example : AtomicExpr.apply(ref x, y, (u, v) => Math.Max(u, v))
• Generic Resident array for value types.
• cusparse and curand for cuda 9.1, 9.2 and 10.0
• value types constructors (they must be decorated with [Kernel])
• builtin support for double.MinValue/MaxValue/Epsilon and NegativeZero
• initonly and literal static fields are automatically [HybConstant]
• warnings!

New features:

• Support of Func<> (up to four generic arguments)
• Support of passing static functions, or Func<> as argument.
• Basic support of as and is keywords
• Linux improvements
• hybridizer-cuda can work in any directory

Bug fixes: #64 and #63
