The agenda for IWOCL & SYCLcon 2023 has been announced! This premier event dedicated to developers using the OpenCL and SYCL APIs will take place in beautiful Cambridge, UK on April 18-20, 2023. It is a unique technical event bringing the developer community together to exchange ideas, solve problems and help steer the future development of the OpenCL and SYCL ecosystems. Early bird pricing is available until the end of March.

Today, at the 9th International Workshop for OpenCL (IWOCL and SYCLcon 2021) Khronos has released the OpenCL 3.0.7 specifications, with a number of new extensions for extended bit-level operations, new queries for suggested local work group size and PCI device information, and enhanced SPIR-V support for debugging and linking. OpenCL 3.0 was released in September 2020 and Imagination, Intel and NVIDIA are already shipping conformant implementations. A Khronos IWOCL slide deck has more details on numerous recent updates and improvements to the OpenCL developer ecosystem.
