v0.2.0

MiniDXNN v0.2.0

MLP training support for MiniDXNN — GPU-accelerated forward and backward passes using DirectX 12 Cooperative Vector, with a C++ fallback path.

Features

• HLSL MLP training (include/minidxnn/hlsl/mlp.hlsl): Forward and backward passes with mininn::forward() and mininn::backward()
• Texture training example (example/02_texture_training): End-to-end MLP training on GPU with SGD, Adam, and Lion optimizers
• C++ fallback (include/minidxnn/cpp/hlsl_compat.hpp): CPU execution path that compiles mlp.hlsl as C++ for environments without Cooperative Vector support

Changes from v0.1.0

• Added MLP backward pass in HLSL
• Added 02_texture_training example with GPU training pipeline
• Added C++ fallback infrastructure (hlsl_compat.hpp)
• Added training-related unit tests (atomic operations, MLP training)
• Restructured HLSL header path from include/hlsl/ to include/minidxnn/hlsl/
• Updated documentation and README

Requirements

• Windows 11 with Developer Mode
• GPU supports Shader Model 6.9 and Cooperative Vector in D3D12 (AMD Radeon™ RX 9000 Series GPUs or equivalent NVIDIA)
• CMake 3.21+, Visual Studio 2022 (C++20)
• Agility SDK 1.717.1-preview, DXC v1.8.2505.1
• Python 3.8+ with PyTorch (optional, for reference training)
