Hi Xiotong,


I am not sure that's what your are looking for (we may discuss it off-list if
you wish),
but just in case:


Aladin Lite contains a mix of CPU/GPU WCS functionalities (not exhaustive at
all).
The GLSL part of the code is available here:
https://github.com/cds-astro/aladin-lite/tree/master/src/glsl/webgl2/projection


And the CPU part (in Rust) is here:
* https://github.com/cds-astro/wcs-rs/
* https://github.com/cds-astro/cds-mapproj-rust


I am not sure how you can test it (but any feedback, error correction,
precision/performance improvement, ... is welcome).


Kind regards,



fx

    Hi,

    I am a researcher at the University of Oxford. 

    Recently, I developed a few GPU-accelerated kernels for transformation
    functions in WCSLIB, such as wcsp2s() and wcss2p(). I am curious to know if
    there are any existing GPU-accelerated WCS implementations available. If
    so, I would like to compare the performance of my work with the existing
    solutions.

    Thank you for your time and help.

    Many thanks,

    Xiaotong
