The more you can see, the better you can analyze. Last month I wrote about a new book on Data science and visual computing. The book tells us, as we already well know, we are awash in data. It’s like the weather, we know it, we can’t manage it. We are struggling to get a grip on it, understand it, use it and exploit it, but it is being generated faster than we can harness … [Read more...] about Visualizing data—analytic rendering via Khronos

Khronos, the expandable
We’ve talked a lot about Open Source in conjunction with Siggraph, but Khronos owns a sizeable chunk of Siggraph mindshare with its multitude of open standards. We had an interesting talk with Neil Trevett of Khronos, who patiently explained to us once again what the difference is between Open Standards and Open Source. Khronos, as you know, manufactures Open Standards by … [Read more...] about Khronos, the expandable
Khronos Standards for Machine Learning
Open source is good: open source standards are better. By Peter McGuinness The Khronos Group has launched its new interoperability standard for neural networks. The Neural Network Exchange Format (NNEF) is an open, implementation-independent way to describe neural networks designed to cut through the current tangle of framework-specific formats. The new standard was … [Read more...] about Khronos Standards for Machine Learning
Khronos launches conformance test suite for SYCL 1.2.1
The SYCL Adopters Package provides an extensive testing suite to potential SYCL implementers. The Khronos Group, a non-profit open industry consortium dedicated to the creation of APIs, file formats, and other industry standards, has announced the launch of the SYCL Adopters Package, a program allowing SYCL 1.2.1 users to access an extensive new testing environment and upload … [Read more...] about Khronos launches conformance test suite for SYCL 1.2.1
Khronos builds out the ecosystem ready for NNEF launch
Bidirectional converters for Neural Network Exchange Format files will be made available as open source projects on Github. by Peter McGuinness Khronos last week announced the launch of a project with Au-zone of Calgary, Canada to produce two conversion tools that will allow developers to import NNEF files into TensorFlow and Caffe2 as well as export NNEF files from … [Read more...] about Khronos builds out the ecosystem ready for NNEF launch
