Compute Aorta
Alastair Colin Murray, Ewan W. Crawford · 2020
The modern heterogeneous programming landscape has a wide variety of programming models targeting a range of hardware that is equally diverse. ComputeAorta from Codeplay Software Ltd is designed to be able to provide implementations of heterogeneous APIs, such as OpenCL or Vulkan Compute, on hardware ranging from DSPs to large machine learning accelerators. This talk is about how the design of ComputeAorta has evolved over the years to enable engineers to quickly implement industry-standard APIs for such devices, exposing their full performance capabilities with minimal effort.
