Khronos royalty-free open standards for 3D graphics, Virtual and Augmented Reality, Parallel Computing, Machine Learning, and Vision Processing

The Khronos Group has announced the agenda and opened registration for Vulkanised 2025, taking place in Cambridge, UK on February 11-13, 2025. The full program is posted on the Vulkanised website, and registration is now open. Early Bird pricing is available until January 10.

SYCL continues to grow as developers contribute and provide feedback, shaping the future of this portable programming model. Recently, the SYCL Working Group announced the release of Revision 9 of the SYCL 2020 Specification and exciting upcoming features. The release of SYCL 2020 Revision 9 enhances specification readability and eases implementation.

SYCL Working Group members will be at Supercomputing (SC24) to showcase recent and roadmap developments and offer in-depth, hands-on experience in SYCL programming for high-performance computing.

The Khronos Group will have a significant presence at SIGGRAPH Asia 2024. The event will take place from 3 – 6 December 2024 in Tokyo, Japan. Attendees will be able to attend the Khronos Fast Forward and BOFs from glTF, OpenXR, Vulkan and Slang. In addition, there will be a joint BOF between the Khronos Group and W3C on how they are cooperating with synergistic standards such as WebXR, OpenXR, WebGPU, WebGL and glTF.

The Khronos Group continues to drive innovation in 3D rendering with its latest updates to the ANARI SDK and a successful Hackathon showcasing the power of the ANARI API in real-world applications. Supercomputing (SC24) also serves as the backdrop for exciting new developments that solidify ANARI’s role in high-performance scientific visualization.

Khronos Group’s ANARI and SYCL will each be represented Supercomputing 2024 in Atlanta, Georgia on November 17-22. ANARI will have a Birds of a Feather (BOF), and SYCL will also have a BOF along with a hands-on tutorial. Come talk to us!
