YoloDotNet.ExecutionProvider.DirectML

YoloDotNet.ExecutionProvider.DirectML enables hardware-accelerated inference on Windows using Microsoft’s DirectML framework. This execution provider integrates ONNX Runtime’s DirectML backend and runs on top of DirectX 12, allowing inference to be accelerated on a wide range of GPUs using the Windows graphics driver stack. DirectML is a Windows-only technology and is supported on Windows 10 and Windows 11 with a DirectX 12–capable GPU. No vendor-specific SDKs or external runtimes are required beyond the standard Windows graphics drivers. This makes the DirectML execution provider a low-friction option for GPU acceleration on Windows systems. Designed for YoloDotNet’s modular, execution-provider-agnostic architecture, the DirectML provider integrates cleanly with the core library and exposes explicit, predictable inference behavior. It is well-suited for Windows applications that require GPU acceleration without locking into a specific hardware vendor or proprietary ML stack.
