Be sure to join AJ Guillon, Yetiware and Yassine Hariri, PhD, CMC Microsystems tomorrow November 8th for the webinar ‘Introducing HCMP’. As heterogeneity increases, the gap between the application layer and the hardware layer increased as well. To reduce this gap, we introduce a heterogeneous computing middleware platform (HCMP), which provides middleware that significantly reduces the complexity of developing industrial-strength heterogeneous computing software. Complex tasks such as multi-device memory management, device I/O, kernel scheduling, and dependency management are handled by the platform so that users can focus on writing their applications instead of adhering to complicated specifications.

glTF provides a web-friendly runtime format that can be used to deliver animated models. Mixamo, by Adobe, provides an easy way to get started with character animation. In this post, I’ll go through my workflow for using Mixamo and Blender to rig, animate, and export a character to glTF 2.0.

Industry Support for OpenXR has gained new support this week with the addition of Microsoft and Antilatency. Support for OpenXR has grown in the months since it was started in February 2017. A complete list of companies that support OpenXR can be found on the OpenXR page.

Join CMC Microsystems and AJ Guillon, chair of the Khronos OpenCL Safety Critical (SC) TSG and founder of YetiWare, on November 8th. This webinar will discuss how to reduce the gap between the application layer and the hardware layer by introducing a heterogeneous computing middleware platform (HCMP), which provides middleware that significantly reduces the complexity of developing industrial-strength heterogeneous computing software using an OpenCL programming model.

Vivid3D is a modern 3D engines built with OpenTK/OpenGL4.5 and C#. It can import 30+ format types, has a built in advanced UI lib, and is in active development. You can join the project on source-forge if you wish to help continue it’s development.
