VENLACPU

CPU-first deep learning framework modern C++17.

VENLACPU is an actively developed deep learning framework focused on a clean, portable CPU implementation. The native engine is written in C++17 and is designed to work across desktop and mobile environments without requiring CUDA.

Status: Alpha / active development. APIs may change before the first stable release.

Author

VENLACPU is created and developed by Frandika Imam Arifin.

Current capabilities

The current C++ core includes:

  • Tensor storage, shape, stride, dtype, and device abstractions
  • CPU tensor operations and manipulation
  • Autograd and gradient propagation
  • Elementwise mathematics and reductions
  • Linear layers and sequential models
  • Activation functions
  • MSE and cross-entropy loss
  • Embedding
  • Positional encoding
  • Layer normalization
  • Multi-head attention
  • Feed-forward networks
  • Transformer encoder
  • Transformer decoder
  • KV cache and cached attention
  • Causal language model
  • Causal language-model dataset batching
  • Training loop with gradient accumulation
  • Adam optimizer
  • Evaluation and autoregressive generation
  • Tokenizer and vocabulary components

The project currently contains a comprehensive C++ test suite covering the implemented components.

          Training System

The native implementation is the primary implementation at this stage.

Build from source

Requirements:

  • CMake 3.16 or newer
  • C++17 compiler
  • Git
cmake -S . -B build
cmake --build build -j2

Run the complete test suite:

ctest --test-dir build --output-on-failure

Python / PyPI

VENLACPU has a modular Python package prepared for PyPI. The current Python package exposes the package version, while the native C++ engine remains the primary implementation.

Platform-specific native wheels will be added when the Python binding layer is ready. GitHub Actions is used as the build and packaging engine.

Causal language-model training

The current training API supports:

  • Causal token shifting
  • Dataset batching
  • Padding with ignore index
  • Cross-entropy loss
  • Autograd and gradient propagation
  • Gradient accumulation
  • Adam optimization
  • Evaluation
  • Autoregressive generation

CPU-first design

VENLACPU is intentionally CPU-first. The current implementation does not require CUDA or a GPU runtime.

This makes the project suitable for desktop CPUs and ARM/mobile development environments.

Development philosophy

VENLACPU begins with the low-level foundations and builds upward. The long-term goal is a portable CPU-first framework with a native C++ core and convenient Python access.
