Summary

As a high-performance hardware accelerator, the GPU, in addition to graphics, is today playing an important role in the fields of AI and general-purpose computing, benefiting machine vision, deep learning, and training for inference. Open and standardised APIs are further improving the efficiency of advanced computing and expanding the scope of the GPU, helping developers to deploy their applications to the wider market.

To embrace the opportunities and challenges of this evolving digital landscape, the Khronos Group, an industry organisation dedicated to open API standards, joined Imagination on 19 July 2022 in Shanghai, China in a seminar focusing on forward-looking innovation and ecological collaboration. This webinar is an on-demand recording of what happened on that day.

Imagination is delighted that several international industry experts joined us at the seminar, where our ecosystem partners shared their thoughts on technologies and their applications. We also discussed the latest in GPU technology, open-source standards, open API interfaces and the collaboration between our ecosystem partners.

We hope that the collaboration between Khronos and Imagination will inspire global chip companies and developers to accelerate the launch of unique, innovative products.
