Release v1.0.0-rc3

This final release candidate is a preview of the upcoming ILGPU stable release with a frozen API surface/feature level. It includes performance improvements and several bug fixes including critical patches for the internal loop optimization phases and cross-device peer accesses (get the ILGPU Nuget package and ILGPU Algorithms Nuget package).

Breaking Changes

• Refined the API for building custom Atomic implementations to overcome performance limitations (#667).

Changes

• Added explicit conversion methods for ArrayView and ArrayView1D (#666).
• Improved Atomics performance (#667).
• Fixed issue with enabling IO operations (#694).
• Fixed invalid peer-access functionality (#675).
• Fixed invalid address-space inference in the presence of generic view-based casts (#670).
• Fixed critical issues in LoopUnrolling phases (#653, #657, #661).
• Fixed invalid thread configuration in CPUDevice and CPUMultiprocessor classes (#665).
• Fixed missing NotInsideKernel attributes on MemSet functions (#651).
• Fixed missing bindings current accelerator in the scope of profiling markers (#644).
• Fixed radix sort on floating point data types (#643).

Repository Changes

• Polished readme, build and license information. (#650, #655).
• Updated samples to new Atomic function API (#667).

Major internal changes

• Bumped several test dependency packages (#659, #662).
• Bumped SourceLink dependencies to v1.1.1 (#689, #690).
• Bumped T4.Build version to v0.2.3 (#685).
• Added automatic skipping of specific CPU tests on MacOS runners (#669).
