ARM blog has a good tutorial on getting started with compute shaders. Compute shaders introduce GPU Compute from within the OpenGL® ES API; the same API and shading language which are used for graphics rendering. Now that compute shaders have been introduced to the API, developers do not have to learn another API in order to make use of GPU Compute.

Altera’s SDK for OpenCL was recognized by this prestigious Ace Award for its ability to allow software programmers to access the performance and low-power advantages of FPGAs. Altera is the industry’s first company to offer an SDK for OpenCL that targets FPGAs and today offers a full production release of the high-level design tool. The EE Times Ultimate Product - Software award recognizes the company with the most innovative software product of the year.

Vivante Corporation announced multiple silicon partner integrations of its GC7000 Series GPU IP into SoCs targeting wearables, mobile, automotive, and 4K TV products. GC7000 will support the newly released OpenGL ES 3.1 API and hardware TS/GS/CS (tessellation / geometry / compute shader) extensions for Android. Integrated TS/GS/CS support puts the most advanced desktop 3D features in your hand bringing 4K rendering to the next level by adding even more stunning, fine-grained 3D detail and realism to game play, while lowering power and memory bandwidth.

The Embedded Vision Summit West 2014 provides a unique opportunity for engineers to learn about the hottest technology in the electronics industry—embedded computer vision—which enables “machines that see and understand.” Summit West on May 29th will be held in the Santa Clara Convention center. Seats filled up very quickly last year, and so it is suggested that anyone who is interested in attending, please register today.

Blend4Web is a new WebGL framework for authoring and interactive rendering of three-dimensional graphics and audio in browsers. The platform is intended for creating visualizations, presentations, online-shops, games and other rich internet applications, and is integrated tightly with Blender (hence the name).

CopperCube 4.5 has just been released. The game engine now has the option to publish WebGL games with fullscreen and pointer lock support, meaning first person games and apps are now easy to use when run from websites. There is also a new WebGL demo available, showing this feature in action.
