Embedded World Conference 2021 DIGITAL
The embedded world Exhibition&Conference will take place next year as a completely digital event. Both the trade fair and accompanying conferences, the embedded world Conference and the electronic displays Conference, will be held as virtual formats under the name embedded world DIGITAL. Participants will have five days at their disposal from March 1-5, 2021.
Khronos Sessions
Keynote: The State of Khronos Standards Powering the Future of Embedded Vision & Inferencing
Speaker: Neil Trevett, The Khronos Group, President Date: 4 March 2021Time: 4:15-4:45pm CET
As machine learning advances, so too does the number of accelerators, processors, libraries and compilers in the market. Proprietary APIs and formats can create a complex industry landscape that hinders market growth. Open standards have an important role to play in enabling interoperability for faster, easier deployment of vision-based systems.
In this session, Khronos President Neil Trevett will provide a state-of-the-industry update on the family of Khronos open standards for programming and deploying accelerated inferencing and embedded vision including OpenCL, Vulkan, OpenVX, SYCL and NNEF. The presentation will include future directions for these standards and provide attendees insights into which of these standards may be relevant to their embedded vision and inferencing projects.
Neil is Vice President of Developer Ecosystems at NVIDIA and the elected President of the Khronos Group, where he initiated the OpenGL ES standard now used by billions worldwide every day, helped catalyze the WebGL project to bring interactive 3D graphics to the Web, fostered the creation of the glTF standard for 3D assets, chairs the OpenCL working group defining the open standard for heterogeneous parallel computation, and helped establish and launch the new-generation Vulkan GPU API.
