Bright Wire is an extensible machine learning library for .NET with optional MKL and GPU support (via CUDA).
Bright Wire is a .net 8 class library.
The previous .net 4.6 version can be found here: https://github.com/jdermody/brightwire-v2
Bright Wire runs "out of the box" with its own vectorised linear algebra library.
If you have a NVIDIA GPU then you can also use GPU based computation. You will need to install NVIDIA CUDA Toolkit 12 (and have a Kepler or better NVIDIA GPU).
To enable higher performance CPU based computation on Intel hardware, Bright Wire also supports the Intel Math Kernel Library (MKL).
