Is it possible to use Alea GPU on Linux by targeting .NET Core?

Thanks.

Currently, it is not supported, but you may get some simpler use cases working. A first .NET core release of Alea GPU is expected by November/December.

  • Any update on this? Alea has the best API in my opinion. I think it would be a big selling point to have .NET Core support. – Nick Strupat Apr 18 '20 at 16:45
  • Alea GPU on .NET core is available as an enterprise solution only. – Daniel Apr 19 '20 at 19:25
  • Oh ok. I didn't see it anywhere on the Alea site. – Nick Strupat Apr 19 '20 at 23:38
  • @Daniel Alea GPU appears to be a dead project. Do you know of any similar alternatives? – Tim Oct 20 '20 at 16:19
  • @Tim No it is not a dead project, you can always buy the enterprise addition. – Daniel Oct 21 '20 at 20:59
  • The examples don't build, and the website is full of dead links though? – Tim Oct 22 '20 at 23:24
  • @Tim did you use these examples: http://www.aleagpu.com/release/3_0_4/doc/gallery.html ? – Daniel Oct 24 '20 at 12:23
  • I clicked on one of the example tiles from that page and downloaded AleaSample.CS.ParallelFor.zip. I should have been more precise though, it builds, it just doesn't run due to an exception "Could not load file or assembly 'FSharp.Core, Version=4.4.0.0". 4.4 isn't available from nuget anymore and 4.7.2 won't work even though automatic binding redirects is turned on. Also, I see the Alea nuget packages have not been updated since 2017 – Tim Oct 27 '20 at 16:41
