Webinar: ANARI - Performance Computing
Learn What's Happening Inside the ANARI™ Working Group and How You Can Get Involved
Date and Time: August 19, 2020 | 8am-9am PT
Launched in November 2019, the ANARI Working Group seeks to streamline data visualization development for any company creating scientific visualization rendering engines, libraries and applications, freeing visualization domain experts and software developers from non-trivial rendering details while enabling graphics experts to avoid domain-specific functionality and optimizations in their rendering backends. Join us for an update on their progress towards a new ANARI API and learn how you can get involved.
This webinar will be using Zoom, and will require you to have a Zoom account. If you are new to Zoom, you may sign up free.
