TinyCompute is a C++ library which allows developers to write compute shaders in pure C++.

The major parts of the library are:

• a simple OpenGL compute shader abstraction + texture renderer
• support for swizzling with the aid of the array index operator and a custom string value (with suffix _sw)
• support for compute kernels that can be executed with C++ algorithms in a parallel or serial fashion.
• support for defining buffers and their bindings.

Finally C++ compute kernels can be easily converted into glsl compute shaders with the help of simple regular expressions.
