Khronos Group Standards: Powering the Future of Embedded Vision


Open standards play an important role in enabling interoperability for faster, easier deployment of vision-based systems. With advances in machine learning, the number of accelerators, processors, libraries and compilers in the market is rapidly increasing. Proprietary APIs and formats create a complex industry landscape that can hinder overall market growth.

The Khronos Group’s open standards for accelerating parallel programming play a major role in deploying inferencing and embedded vision applications and include SYCL, OpenVX, NNEF, Vulkan, SPIR, and OpenCL.

Neil will provide an up-to-the-minute overview and update on the Khronos embedded vision ecosystem, highlighting the capabilities and benefits of each API, giving attendees insight into which standards may be relevant to their own embedded vision projects and discussing the future directions of these key industry initiatives.

Session Speakers

  • Neil Trevett is the Vice President of Developer Ecosystems at NVIDIA where he helps enable applications to take advantage of advanced GPU and silicon acceleration. Neil is also the elected President of the Khronos Group, where he initiated the OpenGL ES standard now used by billions worldwide every day. He helped catalyze the WebGL project to bring interactive 3D graphics to the Web, fostered the creation of the glTF standard for 3D assets, chairs the OpenCL working group defining the open standard for heterogeneous parallel computation and helped establish and launch the new-generation Vulkan API. Before NVIDIA, Neil was at the forefront of the silicon revolution bringing interactive 3D to the PC, and he established the embedded graphics division of 3Dlabs to bring advanced visual processing to a wide range of non-PC platforms.
