Codeplay Software has announced the availability of this fully supported edition of their popular SYCL implementation providing advanced features and premium technical support to developers seeking to bring advanced vision and AI products to the market. The first releases will support Intel GPUs and Renesas R-Car products, with other platforms becoming available soon.

AImotive has released its aiSim2 simulator to significantly upgrade the speed and quality of testing and validating self-driving solutions. aiSim2 is the next generation of the award-winning aiSim1, powered by a purpose-built engine that ensures a high level of physical realism, deterministic running alongside optimized hardware utilization and flexibility. aiSim2 is built on AImotive’s experience developing aiDrive, a full stack self-driving software solution. The new simulator offers flexibility and scalability by being hardware agnostic, utilizing The Khronos Group’s Vulkan API to maximize portability and flexibility to enable efficient execution on a wide range of single and multi-GPU system configurations.

Codeplay’s ComputeCpp 1.0 enables SYCL and provides C++ developers with ‘High Performance Computing’, ‘Computer Vision’ and ‘Artificial Intelligence’. “Codeplay continues to lead the SYCL community, as demonstrated by the release of ComputeCpp 1.0 featuring the industry’s first fully conformant SYCL 1.2.1 implementation,” said Codeplay’s Michael Wong, chair of the SYCL working group and senior member of the ISO C++ Standards committee. “This latest release will empower developers to more easily harness the power of heterogeneous computing. It also helps improve the experience for developers by making it easy to write applications that can take greater advantage of the compute capabilities present in a range of CPUs, GPUs, and other processor types.” Learn more about ComputeCpp 1.0 and SYCL, or read up on the history of Codeplay and SYCL.
