Just like Embree 4.0 including Intel graphics acceleration earlier this 12 months through SYCL, Intel’s OpenVKL library that can be a part of their oneAPI rendering toolkit has now added SYCL graphics acceleration with OpenVKL 2.0.
OpenVKL 2.0 was simply launched immediately as the latest main replace to this open-source quantity kernel library. OpenVKL supplies a group of excessive efficiency quantity computation kernels. OpenVKL has lengthy been fairly good on CPUs — and even non-Intel and non-x86_64 platforms — whereas immediately’s OpenVKL 2.0 launch is the primary time including GPU help through SYCL. Intel Arc Graphics, Intel Information Heart GPU Flex Collection, and Intel Information Heart GPU Max Collection are all supported by OpenVKL 2.0. The SYCL help on this part is at the moment thought-about beta.
OpenVKL 2.0 additionally takes the chance to make numerous API adjustments and additions. Plus there are new OpenVKL examples for demonstrating GPU utilization. The OpenVKL superbuild has additionally been up to date in opposition to the entire newest oneAPI dependencies.
Downloads of this open-source VKL library in addition to binaries for Home windows / Linux / macOS can be found through GitHub.
