Update: Thetis Headers Now Supports WASI SDK and macOS
We are pleased to announce an update to Thetis Headers, our C++ & GPU project skeleton, which now includes support for the WASI SDK and macOS. This update enhances the flexibility of Thetis Headers, making it easier for developers to build and deploy high-performance computing (HPC) applications across a broader range of environments.
What’s New in This Update?
WASI SDK Support
With this update, Thetis Headers now includes support for the WebAssembly System Interface (WASI) SDK, enabling developers to target WebAssembly (Wasm) environments. This provides the flexibility to run HPC applications in browsers and other Wasm-compatible platforms, offering more deployment options for your projects.
By integrating WASI SDK, developers can compile their C++ code to WebAssembly, creating fast, secure, and portable applications that can run across different platforms.
macOS Support
We’ve also added support for macOS, allowing developers working on macOS to seamlessly build HPC applications using C++, GPU acceleration, and other features of Thetis Headers. This ensures a consistent development experience across Linux, Windows, and macOS, expanding the toolkit’s reach to more developers.
Continued Julia and Swift Integration
Thetis Headers retains its support for Julia integration for scientific computing and machine learning workflows. Simply set the JULIA_HOME environment variable to use Julia within your project:
export JULIA_HOME=/path/to/juliaAdditionally, Thetis Headers continues to offer an example aimed at TensorFlow Swift integration, enabling developers to leverage Swift for machine learning applications within high-performance projects.
Address Sanitizer Considerations
As with previous versions, address sanitizer is enabled by default. If you're working with Julia in a debug environment, you may need to adjust the settings to avoid conflicts, as Julia and the address sanitizer do not always work well together in debug mode.
