Rod Burns promotes UXL — Unified Acceleration Foundation — with the goal of enabling open software development for all brands of accelerators. #ISC24

I am at ISC 24 this week. If you'd like to find out more about the UXLfoundation join this session with my colleague Andrew Richards at 18:45. If you'd like to meet separately drop me a message.

Busy day at #ISC24 today!

This interesting talk from Samsung Electronics will explore bringing #SYCL to hardware Processing In Memory!

See you there!

If you're attending #ISC24 , join founder and CEO of Codeplay Software, Andrew Richards (@codeandrew), for a special session discussing how projects like #UXLFoundation and open platforms can help developers and #HPC architects accelerate software today. intel.ly/3wj6Rho

I will be at ISC in Hamburg next week bringing on some great people to talk about all the fantastic work they're doing with UXLfoundation and SYCLstd

The IWOCL talks are public now.

Using joint matrix in SYCL to accelerate operations that use matrix multiplies, such as convolutions in AI. This lets you fuse matrix multiplies with your own code, a technique commonly used in AI to boost performance: youtu.be/wvWaDk3o0kI?fe…

I watched the Blackberry movie this week. Great fun and tech people will find it shows the challenges of tech companies going from rapid growth to maturing to facing new competition in a very recognisable way. Highly recommended
