NVIDIA JetPack 4.4 SDK went live for all NVIDIA Jetson modules and developer kits with full Vulkan 1.2 support. The open standard Vulkan 1.2 API enables embedded developers to access the full power of NVIDIA Jetson GPUs for 3D rendering and compute.
In a significant step in OpenXR’s rollout across the industry, the OpenXR Working Group has released its Conformance Test Suite, published the tests as Apache 2.0-licensed open source software on GitHub, and launched the OpenXR 1.0 Adopters Program so that implementations can be officially conformant for the first time. Products which are currently in conformance with OpenXR may be found on the Khronos website.
Arm has released a new comprehensive ASTC Guide to help developers who wish to use ASTC technology to compress textures for 3D games and applications. The new guide contains a detailed ASTC algorithm overview, explains ASTC benefits, provides developers advice for achieving best compression results, and contains information on popular encoding tools—as well as usage with game engines.
In the latest episode of CppCast Codeplay VP of Research & Development Michael Wong talks about the provisional specification of SYCL 2020. The specification has now been released and Michael joined Rob and Jason to give an introduction to what SYCL is, and why the latest revision brings some great new features, as well as less verbose, simpler code.
They cover a range of other topics, from the challenges of moving MISRA, a standard used for safety critical applications such as vehicles, to use more modern C++ features like templates and dynamic memory, through to his involvement in aligning the ISO C++ standard with SYCL to support parallel programming.
The Khronos Group and Raspberry Pi have come together to work on an open-source implementation of OpenVX™ 1.3, which passes conformance on Raspberry Pi. The open-source implementation passes the Vision, Enhanced Vision, & Neural Net conformance profiles specified in OpenVX 1.3 on Raspberry Pi.
