Today, the Khronos OpenCL Working Group is happy to announce the release of the finalized OpenCL 3.0 specifications, including a new unified OpenCL C 3.0 language specification, together with an early initial release of a Khronos OpenCL SDK to enable developers to quickly get up to speed using OpenCL.
Join Brent Insko, OpenXR Working Group Chair and 6 speakers from Collabora, Holochip, LunarG and Ultraleap for this OpenXR webinar on October 28th. There will be code examples, update on a new conformant product, discussion of two extensions: experimental overlays and hand tracking, Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM), and available vendor services. There will be a live Q&A at the conclusion of the presentations. Register today!
LunarG releases new Windows, Linux, and macOS SDKs for Vulkan header 1.2.154.0. The prior SDK supported Vulkan API revision 1.2.148. The Vulkan Configurator (vkconfig) has been updated to improve quality and stability and SPIRV-Reflect has been added to the SDK. Read on for information about the new features.
The MoltenVK development team is pleased to announce that the latest release of MoltenVK supports Vulkan 1.1 functionality.
This release also embraces the Vulkan Portability Initiative, adding support for the new VK_KHR_portability_subset extension, which allows application developers to further embrace platform portability by enumerating the subset of Vulkan functionality available on platforms that don’t natively support Vulkan, such as macOS and iOS.
This release is part of the ongoing evolution of MoltenVK to add additional advanced Vulkan functionality, work towards conformance with the Vulkan standard, and continue to play an important role in a broad and vibrant Vulkan eco-system.
The Intel OpenCL Intercept Layer is one of the company’s efforts around helping to improve debugging and analyzing of OpenCL application performance. This cross-platform layer intercepts the OpenCL API calls through the OpenCL ICD loader to analyze/debug CL applications. With the OpenCL Intercept Layer 3.0 release, it has full support for tracing all OpenCL 3.0 APIs. The update also allows for tracing more vendor-specific CL extensions, proper handling of extension APIs from multiple platforms, emulated support for unified shader memory via shared virtual memory, and a number of other enhancements including bug fixes and performance improvements.

NVIDIA’s Linux Vulkan beta driver build has moved from the 450 series that it’s been on for a while to the current 455 branch. This Vulkan beta driver also adds the new VK_EXT_shader_image_atomic_int64 and VK_KHR_copy_commands2 extensions that were introduced in recent weeks with Vulkan API spec updates. This beta driver also now allows importing external host memory as cached. Learn more about what this new driver has to offer.
