Microsoft has released .NET 9 Preview 4 with a significant new feature, Tensor (multi-dimensional arrays) for AI processing.
Tensor builds upon TensorPrimitives, an API for tensor processing in .NET 8, to make mathematical computations more efficient by utilizing the Single Instruction, Multiple Data (SIMD) capabilities of the CPU/GPU for processing.
The introduction of Tensor will help improve performance in running popular AI libraries such as ML.NET, TorchSharp, and ONNX Runtime by reducing data copying within variables.
